Hunter

While I was looking into bags I came across these bags designed by Hunter. The shape isn't something I'd want to experiment with but the material used and finishings of the bag is that what I want to achieve. I've been using a leather like material which gives good shape and structure without using a product that has come from an animal, which with my vegan lifestyle I try to find alternatives that aren't products of animals. As well as the overall aesthetic of the bag I also liked the fastening which is like that of the Mackintosh/Alyx collection, the heavy weight side release buckle is something I want to carry through in both projects. 


I like how utility wear can be made more contemporary, It's these small details that I want to include in my accessory. The next step for me is to start experimenting with these buckles to see how I can attach it to the bag and also look into which fabric I can use for my bag. I need to figure out size and shape for my bag which will all start coming together in the next few weeks.

Dry Bag

Looking into more contemporary styles and designer takes on the dry bag. Usually this bag is all about function and not much time is put into the overall aesthetic as the practicality value outweighs the visual value. I like how the design has been more considered and makes the bag more aesthetically pleasing. Certain components such at material, buckle and handle all make this bag more than what you'd get from an ocean pack.  Following this research I wanted to do some drawing to understand shape and size. I realised the shape of my pockets ( from fashion practice) match that of the dry bags and thought I could mesh the two projects together by combining my ideas for oversized pockets into this shape of a dry bag. I want to keep the cylinder shape but try different fastenings and finishing details to a see which works best.

Acronym

While still researching for my essay and practical work I thought it would be relevant to put in this brand that I've been looking into called 'Acronym'. Their style in a fusion of function and aesthetic whilst taking influence from a number of resources, mostly eastern asian culture and techwear. There is a 3 minute video on the link which I will put below for you to watch, it visualises the difference because techwear for function purposes and for aesthetic purposes which is something I'm discussing in my essay. https://www.grailed.com/drycleanonly/techwear-cyberpunk-orientalism

Supreme

Making relevant connections between items of function that have been altered to give them a higher aesthetic and money value. Supreme charging £28 for sticking their logo on a standard brick that would usually retail around 50p, shows how simply branding can be used to make profit.  Heres the promo video they released for this accessory.  http://www.dazeddigital.com/fashion/article/33209/1/trying-to-understand-the-supreme-brick
