Halycon Gallery
Today I visited the Halycon Gallery in Bond Street as they were having an exhibition on Andy Warhol. "Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was an American artist who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture, and advertising that flourished by the 1960's".

Fragrance Brief
Our new assessment for Module 2 is a "fragrance brief" which involves researching, understanding and collecting data in reference to which fragrances are prominent in the market right now. As a lover of perfume and all things which smell aromatic, I decided to dedicate this blog post to my favourite smelling fragrances which differ from candles to perfumes.

Political Fashion
The rise in political fashion is a topic I feel is needed to blog about. Following the rise of Trump and the slogan "make america great again" has a mixture of positive and negative connatations. For example at the 2017 Grammy awards; singer Joy Villa opted for a political inspired dress in the american flag colours which the slogan "make america great again" and on the back a huge embellished sign saying "Trump".
In addition, Calvin Klein delivered a political message at Fashion Week which stated: "David Bowie’s infamous song “This is Not America,” designer Raf Simons made a pointed message during his debut collection for Calvin Klein at New York Fashion week. "It reflects the environment," Simons wrote in the show notes. "It is the coming together of different characters and different individuals — just like America itself." The music, the clothes and even patterned bandanas he sent to guests with a note saying: “Unity, inclusion, hope and acceptance: Join us at Calvin Klein in wearing the white bandanna. #tiedtogether,” Simons wanted to use his platform to put his message across.“When you have a voice, you should use it," Simons said backstage just last week at his own label's menswear show, almost as if alluding to his Calvin Klein show on Friday. There were nods to the American West for both women and men, with denim jackets over loose jeans, or colorful cowboy-style shirts. There was sporty America, in striped tube-sock sleeves — similar to the arm-warmers shown by his men's label. There were crisp business-like suits in black and white, and coats in colorful quilt patterns.

Lastly, Supreme's Spring/Summer 17 collection features Barack Obama in their 90's inspired garms.
