the unfinished

“Existence is a series of

footnotes to a vast, obscure,

unfinished masterpiece.”

- Vladimir Nabokov

ISSUE EIGHT! It took about a quarter of this year for

myself to thought through this issue"s theme,

if you"ve been following us on social media, I

personally posted an image of an earlier

version coming together, but then I decided

to go against the original “Industrial Fetish

and beyond” and changed it to “the

unfinished”.

This issue is inspired by everything

surrounds us everyday and every night, the

curiosity of object"s final form moving down

its process. Ever wonder that everything

could be #unfinished", some not been used,

some not been touched, some not been

digested, some not been seen or even it

could be just a feeling not been expressed.

Our new feature - “Your Daily Collective” will

explain furthermore.

I revisited my “Industrial Fetish” project from

four years ago, and bought out few images

that I think #could do with a version 2.0" and

provides a different perspective on how to

observe. In contrast, “Camden Alienated Me”

brings out its own identity like the local area

did before its business turn into revenue than

individualism which we greatly celebrates.

Enjoy this #unfinished" issue as you wish,

share and strike up conversation, give and

take opinions while challenge the things; the

values; the rules around you. The collective

wouldn"t work with your input at all.

Finally, may we, all from WestFASHION,

wishes all our readers a prospective new

year, , and keep in touch! X

CRUISE14 & BEYOND

AW14

WARM SHADES:

The sudden dashes of bold and fluorescent colours will be toned down for the pre-collections, a leading prelude into

the Autumn-Winter colours.

REALITY IMAGERY PATTERNS:

Lately, either comedy-purposed or collection!s inspiration, few designers uses their perspective / vision of current

climate and reinterpret so into garments.

LENGTH:

Mind the length of garments, which could directly effects how you look, also look into the trims and finishing which

might have an effect of garment!s moments.

A quick reminder of what Spring Summer 2014 will look like, and few predictions about Autumn-Winter 2014-2015. Buy, construct, condense, filter, categorise your wardrobe carefully.

Katie Eary Xander Zhou

MONOCHROME BASICS:

As for menswear, monochrome will never goes out of fashion, but each season, designers bring in various lengths,

cuts, and others making the collection unique:-

Knee-Length coats - with drop-shoulders cut / structured, collar-less

Wrist Cuff - Functional cuff either right on edge of sleeve or few inches up to secure coverage

Patchwork - Overlaying fabrics to create one

Xander Zhou JW Anderson Matthew Miller Lee Roach

LACE / SHEERNESS OF FABRIC:-

Continuity from Spring Summer 2013, the sheer and see-through aspects of it haven!t changed, but variations of

how the garments are reinterpreted can be seen across SS14 - layering, patterns-overlaying, patchworks.

HALF-SLEEVE / RAGLAN CROP:

Always seen as the all year round seller - good for the “not too hot, not too cold” seasons, this season!s half sleeves

can be seen adapted into dresses and other garment categories while it also available in raglan cut as well to

provide the loser and board shoulder look.

GREYS GREYS GREYS:

Seems like the grey sky have taken over womenswear. Though the office-like colour, silhouette and techniques

have changed drastically with various technology experiments seen across the on-schedule & off-schedules.

PERSONAL PREDICTIONS: RETURN OF GRUNGE CLASH ERA?

The anger from communities, the FOLO (Fear of losing out), the ever-hiking arrogance, the savviness of technology

all contribute into how we look, spend. Now we came to an age of blaming each other for the failure of each other.

The re-emerge of the grunge rock scene can be seen at Mark Fast SS14, then refer to James Long boxy mesh

garments, the Martine Rose!s setup and to accompany such the rebellious of footwear of Sorapol, might lead to a

new era of cyber-grunge. “Go back in time and take its elements to go forward?”

DID WE MISS SOMETHING OUT? Let us know if there!s a sub-merging trend heading the way into 2014 by email or start wearing that trend - sooner or later we!ll catch up. Our details can be found on Last Words.

CAMDEN ALIENATED ME.The once-brilliance in its creation, now the commercialised area might have change some of its characteristic itself, but secretly hidden and tucked away down the sides

of canal, as dashes of new season’s colours and silhouettes comes out to play.The unfinished adaption.
