The Fashion Police

It is 2015, and January is not only for some New Year's Resolution, not that everyone (including myself) believe in resolutions. January 2015 marks the return of the funniest shows on TV, especially for those who loved "The Fashion Police."

E! has release a video teaser that feaures the show's new cast memebers and the date when it should start airing. Accordingly, it will be this coming 12th of January.

The promo features Joan’s replacement Kathy Griffin and new cast member Brad Goreski serving high fashion along with their castmates Giuliana Rancic and  Kelly Osbourne.

Kelly’s lavender mohawk-pompadour stole the show and is like a sign that the new show have a lot of surprises in store. Definitely something to look forward to, great start for 2015.

University of Ulster Graduate Fashion Show 2014

The University of Ulster launched an impressive line-up for the 2014 Ulster Festival of Art & Design, which includes some of the most creative and inspiring minds from the film, fashion, music and business worlds.

Running from 10-14 March, the festival showcased nearly forty separate events that brought the very best of international creativity and innovation to local audiences.

David Bowie’s album designer, Johnathan Barnbrook; Jane McCann, technical designer for Nike; Sandra Scott, Harry Potter’s special effects producer; Chanel’s fashion forecaster, Beryl Gibson; Paul Smith’s shop designers, 6a, and acclaimed photographer Martin Parr, are among the line-up that have showcased the impact of art and design with the university.

The University of Ulster’s very own Professor Greg Maguire who worked on Oscar winning films, Avatar and Harry Potter also hosted an animation workshop for young people. Kano, the DIY computer kit company, demonstrated how design turned their concept into an international business success.

Launching the programme, festival Director Tim Kerr said: “Art and design played a much bigger part in our daily lives than we actually realise. From the films we watched and the buildings we worked in, to the very clothes we wear, art, design and creativity enhance our surroundings each and every day.

“Ulster’s 2014 festival line up provided the public, and the students, with access to some of the most influential and creative minds in the world. Surely that the diverse range of events offered showcased the creative flair that enriches the lives and inspired future generations.”

The festival has a packed schedule of activities including the Belfast International Festival of Performance Art as well as a landmark exhibition of work by University of Ulster and Yale University photography graduates and the most anticipated event – where student designers have had the opportunity to showcase their final collection during the Graduate Fashion Show held and produced by the University each year.

The event took place in Belfast. It was as always jam-packed with professionals and fashionistas from different parts of the worlds for the reason that they always come up with such a fun-tastic show.

Each year, Ulster never fails to impress the right people in the industry, producing promising up and coming talents who caters something fresh and unique. This year has a line-up of impressive and immensely creative designers showcasing designs that were current but very unique, collection with interesting features, cuts and layers and amazing combination of colors and choices of textiles and just leaving in awe of the fantastic pieces that walked on the ramp.

Although the designs were different, edgy in some but they were not overly designed and are totally wearable. Often we see designs that are fully layered and looked really chic and glam, but it does not fit the ordinary taste, it does not comfortable and in the sense is not wearable especially to the masses.

This is where Ulster designers excel, they meet the fashion taste of the majority. They make fantastic and fashionable designs that are not just appealing but absolutely comfortable to wear.

Check out some of the fantastic designs and highlights from the show;

Annual Benefit Fashion Show

The Maryland Institute College of Arts hosted its Annual Benefit Fashion where senior student designers spent almost a year perfecting their designs and collections which will be showcased in this must anticipated fashion show packed with hundreds of professionals and experts in the fashion industry.

The theme of the show was called “transcend,” it is a fresh and brilliant and cool idea – the show explored manifestations of the unconscious minds.

The designers found really challenging because they have to go beyond what is expected of the whole concept and must reveal something hidden about themselves through their designs.

By Luis Rivas

It was surprisingly good to see how creative and imaginative their ideas were and see how each designers approach.

People wear clothes that they feel and fashion is an art that caters for the need of people to express their inner self and what we wear often expresses how we feel and think, it either reveals something or conceals something.

Either way it tells something about us, truth or what we want people to perceive of us.

People identify with clothes or garments and it mirrors oneself and the internal impulses.

By Lizzy Farley; Photo by Derek Blanks ‘00

This is what the theme of the show was about. Transcend represents a place that is metaphysical, emotional and spiritual.

The concept of the show was not the typical kind of show that most have. It rather deep but it is also strikingly good.

Apart from the fact that the show is for a good cause and it aims to aid charities programs, the good thing about the show is that, afterwards the audience gets an up-close conversation with the designers.

They continue to mix and mingle down to the exhibition of fashion-inspired photography, illustration and fiber arts.

It was a great show, all the hard works of the student designers is worth it with the huge success of the whole show.
