Chris Kelly will be guiding me and others on the course through our work alongside my tutors giving us feedback though out the project. I will be building a visual diary and video of my ideas and concept with key and intersting words. My title is called 'My Fashion Comic Book'. I have called my visual diary this as my outcome will be a comic book based around fashion. I'm thinking of corporating LA ROUX into it for the fabrics, textures and patterns as I like her style and the prints she wears.
I don't know much about Chris Kelly as I just only heard of him and met him the other day. He has his own fashion lable ... THEATRE DE LA MODE which based around male fashion with some female bits and bobs. Kelly advertises his work using film, a new idea that is being approched by different designers now but it looks like Kelly does this with all of his collection in a intersting exciting manner. He doesn't always use real life models instead he uses puppets or stuffed dolls, this made me think about using anime as a style of drawing and away to present my ideas for garments.
I posted some interviews and images of Chris Kelly's work.

'Half conceptual art project, half avant-garde fashion, the newly formed "artisan fashion label" Theatre de la Mode presented its debut autumn/winter '08 collection at London Fashion Week—but not in the way you'd expect. Instead of planning a costly runway show, Theatre de la Mode presented its designs via an installation of "nanoscaled" woodland creatures. We sat down with founders Chris Kelly and Sara Flamm to talk about their unorthodox miniature mannequins'.

'From the start, Christopher Kelly has taken an indirect approach towards presenting his collections for Theatre de la Mode. From nano-scaled puppets, Kelly has progressed to film with the clothing from the collections forming a part of the narrative. S/S 09's Undertone collection becomes a richer affair for A/W09, that is now solely focused on menswear. The sillhouettes are kept loose with fabrics becoming heavier and more luxurious; oversized shirts are inserted with contrasting printed textile panels and a texturised vibrant turquoise habotai silk is used repeatedly'
