In a time without in-person contact, it is amazing to see how well this year’s run of Unfiltered has come together thanks to everyone who contributed. It is thanks to the members of our team who worked exceptionally on all their assigned roles and tasks in order to populate the magazine with content as well as our tutors Kim Blake and Julia Robson, that we were able to receive constructive feedback throughout the course in order to further build on our journalistic abilities. Also, a big thank you to James at Scheinfor designing the website and taking care of all the digital aspects!

WELCOME TO UNFILTERED ONLINE

Word from the Editor

Priscilla Salinas
Priscilla

This is Unfiltered*, an all-inclusive and in-depth publication that was built up over the span of a twelve-week Fashion Publishing and Media Relations course on the BA Fashion Marketing pathway at Regent’s University London.

The magazine was created as an outlet for students to share their findings and research across a variety of topics that piqued their interests, varying between fashion, pop culture, and other world events. From covering fashion shows and upcoming trends to broader issues being faced in an era of the COVID-19 pandemic, we were encouraged to provide nuanced and well-balanced takes from a fresh point of view. Despite not being able to carry out the work behind the magazine in person due to the ongoing pandemic that has confined us to learning from behind our computers, our team was able to come together in order to provide unique and, yes, unfiltered looks into their lives through this magazine, reporting on all the different topics that have caught their attention, no matter where in the world they happened to have been.

Erdem

The use of the lights & shadows during the show, produces a sense of mystery and elegance. The spotlight in the center creates a predominant focus in which the audience can concentrate, thus creating a fixed spotlight for the clothing collection. The choreography of the show and the collection, embodies and reminds us of a ballet. From pleated printed skirts to ballerina shoes, the contrast of the collection is a collision of distinct designs and aesthetics. "Erdem’s fashion is dramatic, atmospheric and expressive in the service of emotion: it is not what she wears, but how she feels that matters"
Erdem - Gold

Aeter

Aeter transforms the dynamic montage of light and shadows found in urban architecture into design elements. The materials used in their bags are sourced as a co-product of meat, population control of wild animals, or free-range farming, specifically animals that die from natural causes. The minimalist architecture portrayed in the show, parallel to their bag collection displays and embodies a minimal and elegant atmosphere. The music, being compelling and slightly provocative makes the audience engage further with the show. The minimalist aura of the show embodies the home culture of the designer, displaying an East approach & design.
Aeter - Bag Shoulder

Victoria Beckham

The Victoria Beckham show may shock some for its subtle pop of colour and floral designs, a more rare thing to see for this designer. Sticking to the usual wide leg trouser and some elegant dresses. Beckham states that “People are buying less tailoring, but they’re buying a lot of denim and knitwear. And how do we make that desirable within the collection? The execution has to be perfect.” which is where the inspiration for the collection came from.

Vivienne Westwood

Here we have the Fall/Winter 2021 collection by Vivienne Westwood, which was shown at London fashion week. Westwood took inspiration for the collection from the Rococo painting Daphnis and Chloe by the French artist François Boucher. The collection mixes the usual style of Westwood which is english punk and new wave. as well as adding a little romance by using woolen fabrics in prints such as herringbone and plaid. The collection featured prints on shirting, T-shirts, denim, bodysuits, dresses and a frock-coatish parka, competing with clashing ginghams, stripes, herringbones, and checks. The show seems to have taken place as a look book rather than an official show, this is most likely due to Covid-19 and the current UK restrictions.

Emilia Wickstead

Emilia Wickstead’s collection will make you feel in an elegant drama. Another way to see the post pandemic fashion era, Wickstead’s idea is versatile and is more on the idea that our lifestyle have changed and so the way we dress. Although not too casual the women Wickstead’s dress are the one who always are dressed correctly for the occasion and this is the elegance the show has shown. As the models go through these pink doors it seems like they know exactly where they were going, but in a mysterious way. As the show went to this suspense music style it completely contrasted with the idea of pink and this is again is a remarkable work of oppositions made by Wickstead which represent women in a way which make us proud to be a woman.

Halpern

Michael Halpern will make your dreams come true. Remember, the designer who decided to take the whole summer to create PPE in a makeshift factory and who made you cry by dressing the front line workers in a demi-couture digital document show? He is now the creator of the dreams you did not even know you could have. He has created another world which will make you feel alive and reborn. His collection was made of extravagant material like sequins and patterns which can get you lose your mind! He presented it through a photo shoot with a blue shiny drapes background one one side and a wall full of flowers on the other.

Matty Bovan

Matty Bovan has presented his collection through a psychedelic video; loud music, fast zoom and full of colours. The clothes are going beyond what we could ever imagined and this is why we love Bovan’s work. Bovan who creates his clothes in the United Kingdom has again worked in a sustainable way by local material producers and also used The Sustainable Sequin Company as we all know sequins have huge environmental consequences. He is breaking the limits and this is exactly what has to be done and what we want to see. His looks are pieces of art that make us believe. Believe in our unconscious and so believe in ourselves.
