"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. "
About Me
- Emma Victoria Manning
- London
- I am a recent graduate with a degree in Fashion Design. I have now pursued into costume design and creation, with consideration into make-up and (maybe) wig-work. A costume has a whole life story behind it. I aim to portray entirely accurate historical and cultural references and develop these details into personal characters all of which the audience can understand and in some cases relate to. The importance of costume is simply inexplicable.

Manning Up
So as it's getting closer to the deadline I am gradually feeling more and more sorry for myself.
But thankfully luck was on my side, kicked me back into shape and I have managed to get somewhere. Sleep might actually be on the cards.
I finally decided on a layout for the shirt based on the judas cradle. It has been very stressful and caused a lot of trouble for me, BUT using repetition and reflecting I have come up with quite a sleek and neat design covering the front of the garment. The print will be involved here by being used in sections of pyramids (which make up the front) but slightly disjointed so not to fit perfectly together.
Pictures will follow, but it's looking promising.

Lets get on with this then.
I am currently studying menswear, in particular shirts of formal and casual design. I like to include a lot of textile pieces as well in my work, such as print, knit and embroidery. I am using all of these for my final products.
My work is based on the concept of old torture methods; what the equipment was and what the effect on the body these tools had.
Below is one of the prints I have worked on, it is based on the stringy appearance of muscles. I wanted to focus on the tearing, pulling and distressing of muscles when going through extreme distortion. Each method has a different effect on a different part on the body. For example, The Judas Cradle. The subject is placed on top of a pyramid shaped chair ( of which there is a sharp point) and, well, the point goes into the most inconvenient place...
During the research for each method I was certainly put off my food...

Show Me The Manning
So being a new' blogger' and all that this first post will be a bit pointless.
Over the next few weeks I will be working 24/7 to finish my fashion degree. I can see now red bull and wine will be my best friends (not mixed, that would be dangerous) in a desperate attempt to keep me sane.
So, enjoy.
