The Foundation Diploma in Art & Design students ventured to Manchester on a visual research trip for their new project 'Urban Landscape'.
The brief: to photograph the urban landscape of Manchester for visual inspiration. We were lucky that our visit (planned around the UCAS Design your Future Fair at the Manchester Convention Center) coincided with the exhibition of Andrea Zapp's fantastic garments at the Manchester Gallery - perfect to show how digital imagery inspired by Urban Landscapes and art have been transformed into beautiful garments.
'Captured around the world, fashioned in Manchester: internationally renowned and Manchester-based media and textile artist Andrea Zapp reveals her first luxury womenswear collection. Working with scenes and photography from her global travels, Zapp has used urban views, rural panoramas, miniature scenarios and objects of culture and curiosity to create a visual portfolio which forms the essence of each stunning hand-made silk dress.
For this exhibition, Zapp has designed three exclusive limited edition dresses, using photographs of objects from the gallery’s decorative arts collection in striking new pattern narratives.
Each dress also features in a unique online map interface that enables you to view the original worldwide location and background story for each photographic artwork via its GPS coordinates'.
