Overall , we were proud of our finished outcome, our concept of conveying “energy” inspired by thermochromic heat maps is subtle as we didn’t actually paint on a heat map of objects, instead we just interpreted the colours, but it worked well as the window does indeed have an energetic mood, especially with the sportswear and Nike shoes. I can imagine our window on display at Nike town.

The positioning of the colours within the window means that they are spread out evenly so not drawing attention to one part but to the window as a whole , the hanging shoes particularly helped add the finishing touches to this. The only thing that we think would improve the distribution of colours and the way they flow would be if we had a yellow strobe light to put in the right corner and if the middle red light was stronger because the blue one seems brighter.

We did find it very hard to blend the paint evenly when painting it on, using sponges helped but still wasn’t ideal. If we had a bigger budget and more time we should have either used spray paint, an airbrush or got our ombre digitally printed as a wall sticker which would’ve looked much smoother and also would’ve been glossy which would match our white vinyl flooring and also add another dynamic to the walls because they would be reflecting the lights and surroundings more, further emphasizing our concept of energy. Originally , we were going to paint the floor ombre aswell but with the colours going the opposite way so as to create a dynamic of different directions within the window, symbolizing active wear and energy. However, since we found the blending of the ombre challenging and we also had a tight schedule, we decided to cover the floor in white vinyl , we were pleased with how it looked, it felt modern and matched the style of the mannequins but also kept the focus on them instead of drawing the eye to the floor which I feel that an ombre floor might’ve done.

Which brings me onto the fact that the mannequins weren’t able to wear our chosen shoes for the outfits because the spigots were going through the feet, this was out of our control and quite annoying but at least it lead me to having the idea of hanging the shoes from the ceiling by their laces which looked youthful, fun and made them decorations rather than shoes. At first we had picked the khaki coloured wooden armed mannequins because all of the white mannequins left were a but too abstract to us however the khaki ones looked too old fashions so we managed to swap with another group and use these semi-realistic mannequins with orange and blue face paints which matched our colour scheme perfectly and looked quite hip meaning it would appeal to our target audience of students and young adults. The only criticism we had of them was that their poses didn’t collaborate very well together but simply pushing them together to made it look as if they were somehow interacting better. Ideally, our window would have mannequins with much sportier poses and it would also look cool if their skin was light blue.

The sporty outfits really bought the whole window together and helped emphasize our message of energy, the outfit on the left was more blue but had orange accessories and face paint which mixed in some warm colours , the right outfit was more red and orange but had some blue elements aswell as the blue Nikes so al the colours balanced out. We were particularly pleased with how we made the best out of a bad situation regarding the wigs which ended up looking very effective.

When planning our window, we wanted to really capture the aspect of colour and how this impacts the viewer. We created a key word to help execute our ideas, this was energy. When focusing on colour and product we wanted them to be able to emphasize each other. Our idea was to use the primary colours of yellow and red and using the technique of ombre to blend as well as adding in pops of blue. The colour yellow exudes an energetic, positive atmosphere, radiating warmth and inspiration. We loved the idea of thermochromic patterns the way the colours would blend and accentuate the surroundings.

When deciding our products and fashion trends, we focused on our word, energy. We agreed that sportswear emphasizes vitality and dynamism. We focused on womenswear being entirely fascinated by the Thierry Mugler Spring 2013 collection.

This concept board I created follows our point of focus in the word energy. I follows the primary colours of red, yellow and blue exuding an energetic feel throughout the board.

This 2013 Thierry Mugler Spring collection inspired our colour palettes. The blend between red and yellow creates a warmth, energetic atmosphere. The pop of blue stabilizes these colours and accentuates the ombre. These primary colours contrast each other to reflect the way they impact the viewer.

We experimented with different versions of ombre on the computer so that we could visualize what it would look like before painting and concluded that the all vertical ombre design was the best and most viable. The radiating square ombre would’ve been much more challenging , especially within our timescale. We then moved onto our second step of experimenting and research by making mini mocks of how the paint would blend into each other to work out whether we needed to use transition shades or not.

Fenty x Puma 2018 Spring Ready-to-Wear Collection

‪Rihanna's Instagram handle is BadGalRiRi for a reason. The pop star has an insatiable appetite for danger, and her risk-taking swagger permeates everything she does, not least her sense of style. Tonight she gave fashion-conscious adrenaline junkies something to remember, opening her Fenty x Puma show at the ‪Park Avenue Armory with a trio of daredevil motocross stuntmen who turned dazzling 360-degree tricks over the mountains of pink sand on the runway below. After what has been a relatively subdued round of weekend shows, this was the electrifying moment that New York Fashion Week desperately needed, one that instantly had editors, celebrities, and ‪Rihanna fans in the crowd perched on the edge of their seats.

The collection itself was partly X Games inspired, with a number of classic surf references thrown in for good measure. In addition to biker shorts and scuba onesies, there were modern iterations of cheeky 1980s swim trends, including the French-cut swimsuit, which has arguably been a hot-button topic on beaches all over the land this summer. Long before the likes of Kendall and Bella were posting racy bikini selfies to Instagram, ‪Rihanna had that daring skin-baring look down pat, and her bright neon maillots and body-con beach cover-ups came with all the coolest trimmings, including industrial zippers, adjustable toggles, peekaboo lacing, and mesh overlay. The pop star has never been afraid of unleashing her inner tomboy either, and the oversize motocross-inspired nylon track pants and anoraks were a nice way to push the athleisure trend out of its current spandex comfort zone.
