Tracking a Trend: Adidas Vs Nike

This Poster shows the historic moments of Nike and Adidas Trainers.


The brief was to Track and Trend, I chose to research my favourite item of an outfit the TRAINERS. firstly I was Researching purely Nike but quickly realised that in some years Adidas dominated such as 1987 when RUN DMC were the fashion idols of Hip-Hop. Also 2012 Adidas took over with the launch of Snoop Dogs 'Raster Flavoured' trainer.

I believe Nike and Adidas are even in popularity however I see Adidas more as a clothing brand than trainers and Nike is all about the footwear. After University I believe these two Company's are defiantly the Brands I would like too work for.

Red Carpet Princesses

Our first Red Carpet Princess is Katie Holmes. This was at the Met Gala and she is wearing a Marchesa Gown.

I believe Katie's dress is beautiful, I would of liked a different material to the bottom of the dress as it looks like it needs a good steam. I would of gone with a satin or flowy organza and netting. I believe the yellow colour suits her which is a big achievement as yellow is hard to pull of. I would of put her hair in a sleek pony tail or low bun as the messy hair and messy bottom of the dress is too much going on for me. But since yellow is all the rage for S/S16 we defiantly need a lesson of Katie Holmes on how to pull It off.
 
Jennifer Lawrence took a different approach to the Disney look...

OK! Sure we all want to look as fabulous as Ariel after walking out of the sea on our holidays. However, if Ariel cant pull a look of us regular none Princess folk sure wont be able too.
Here Jennifer is wearing a DIOR gown and landed herself on the worst dressed list. If the dress had been a dark blue and without the lower black circle this dress could of worked. The two bands of black make the fabric come way out on her hips making her look a very odd shape. If I was Jennifer Lawrence I would have the stylist she has allocated to her in the Hunger Games! He never gets it wrong.

Amy Adams Oscar Dress 2013 stole the show. The colour the shape and the beautiful women all replicate Cinderella's dress. However, Amy's weren't made by her fairy godmother it was designed by Oscar de la Renta. I love that this dress is so loud but effortless. There's no need for all the bells and whistles because the dress does it for you. Simple hair and makeup with understated jewellery she couldn't be more like a princess if she tried. PERFECT.

Peter Werth SS17 Inspo board



Spring/Summer 2017 Menswear

All photos are sourced from WGSN.com


First I made a Trend board on Pinterest (@katykd1997)

This was the first board I created I wanted lots of cool tones like a British seaside. Problem was I couldn't find my idea anyway in the upcoming trend so I created a new mood board inspired y the Jungle this will be in a different post. I still wanted to show you this for ideas for your possible mood boards or layout ideas.

This was created on a MAC on InDesign, if your looking to use InDesign or any other payed for software here is a link to get a free trial http://download.cnet.com/s/adobe-indesign-trial/ .


This was the final Mood board for Peter Werth Jungle Book theme for SS17. I got the inspiration for this board from Trend Council.com. This board has more colours running through it making it a lot warmer, which is ideal for the Summer look. I added photos like the tiger and Jungle to allow the theme come through and be clear. I did keep the pictures of the cars in cement just to show the colour scheme.
