THEORY PROGRESSION - LINKING PRACTICE AND THEORY

After feeling that I have being going round in circles the last couple of weeks with my essay, I have finally made some progress this week. 

I have decided that I am going to write a critical evaluation about how the fashion is portrayed through both Photography and Illustration, and how it has recently being progressed by being shown through a mix of these two modes of communication - which has lead to a new future for the fashion image. 

I have chosen to research this new era of fashion being portrayed through both a combination of photography and illustration due to my own style of working. I have defined myself as an illustrator who's works uses a combinations of both hand rendered and photographic imagery, so I feel this links in directly with my practice, allowing me to explore the work of other designers who have introduced and elaborated this way of working into the fashion and illustrative world. 

I will looking at the work of Nick Knight one of the most famous fashion photographers, who's work over the last ten years has changed noticeably as he moves into this new dimension of the fashion image. I will also be analysising the work of Julie Verhoeven as she is one of fashions most recognized hand rendered artists who's work has been used on Louis Vitton and Mulberry products. I will be able to show through her work how the fashion image is has been traditionally portrayed through either photography or in her case illustration.
