We had SO MUCH FUN following @elyseblackshaw and her TEXT IN FASHION workshop which was hugely successful! Thank you so much for giving us your time and expertise! . In this workshop participants were introduced to illustrator @elyseblackshaw where they learned about her experience as an illustrator and how she uses text within her work to talk about fashion and the environment. Participants were guided in Understanding how text is used in fashion and we're encouraged to Experiment with colourful and playful techniques as well as Learning the technique of ‘Free Writing'. . The key element of this workshop was to understand the connection between written text and fashion. At first thought writing and fashion appear to be very distant, yet they work harmoniously together. Elyse introduced our participants to different techniques, such as free writing (writing without judgement), mark making, and 3D crafting. These processes allow you to write and create without fear and encourage self-expression. . #brent2020 #brent #boroughofcultures #londonboroughofculture #mylocalculture #culture #arts #london #community #heritage #thisistheboroughofcultures #2020CultureFund #fashion #design #warrenreilly #fashioningourhistory #fohbrent #history #fashionhistory #youngpeople #youth #community #art #artprogramme #edcuation #fashionillustration #brentlibraries #willesdengreenlibrary (at London Borough of Brent) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLorXvggejl/?igshid=1q6it2owmt8v0

What should I do with my wallpaper samples and scrap fabrics? Look no further @rsrillustration has the awnsers! Using samples from @bm_stores she has created a series of illustrations demonstrating one use of reusing found resources to unleash your creativity. . Inspired by the 18th century, @viviennewestwood and digital abstraction, various checks and tartans are cut into strips and stuck down to create a new pattern/Artwork, applying this to a ballgown structure. You can use these techniques in tomorrow's workshop with @elyseblackshaw! . #brent2020 #brent #boroughofcultures #londonboroughofculture #mylocalculture #culture #arts #london #community #heritage #thisistheboroughofcultures #2020CultureFund #fashion #design #warrenreilly #fashioningourhistory #fohbrent #history #fashionhistory #youngpeople #youth #community #art #artprogramme #edcuation #fashionillustration #brentlibraries #willesdengreenlibrary (at London Borough of Brent) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLZQh6-ALT4/?igshid=tp2uol3lma3o

Congratulations to Chloe Aaliyah Aged 18 of @mcrschart @mcrfashioninstitute @manmetuni for obtaining a place on the @foh.brent Programme! . “Everything I create in fashion has a purpose and meaning. It raises awareness on topics that are I consider are “brushed under the rug”. In this decade we lose touch of fashion, in particular, what we are buying and where we are buying it from. My work always shows a process and a context around the garment you wear and how it's worn. For all ages, for all skin tones, for all sizes. My materials are recycled, sustainable, and reused. It adds meaning and detail to my garments that no store-bought fabric and pattern can create. My favourite process of working on a garment is the research and collection of data, resources, and materials. Collecting second-hand means you get odd shapes and textures in what you find which turns the process into an adventure of what the final product will be. Being sustainable is so important especially in our fashion industry with over 92 million tons of waste being created we need new designers with new ideas to change the game for our future generations.” . #brent2020 #brent #boroughofcultures #londonboroughofculture #mylocalculture #culture #arts #london #community #heritage #thisistheboroughofcultures #2020CultureFund #fashion #design #warrenreilly #fashioningourhistory #fohbrent #history #fashionhistory #youngpeople #youth #community #art #artprogramme #edcuation #fashionillustration #brentlibraries #willesdengreenlibrary (at Manchester Fashion Institute) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLPG0kUg04F/?igshid=1fzh4e00omtf6

We at @foh.brent support and encourage the study of ethnic minorities and socially oppressed groups within our programme but there is not greater course for us to be talking about now then @blklivesmatter - we want to use our platform to be able to show our support for the movement #blacklivesmatter and black lives have ALWAYS mattered. We hope that out project can be used as a platform for people to express their own narrative within this cause. #blacklivesmatter #blackliveshavealwaysmattered #virtualprotestldn #artistsagainstracism #designersagainstracism #brent2020 #brentboroughofculture2020 #fohbrent #fashioningourhistory (at London Borough of Brent) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBIyiDXHlVa/?igshid=11fb8wiysnohm

We are very proud our participant @ikonshepherd for The Fashioning our History Project during @lboc2020 releasing his first online photography zine! Discover the Zine Here: http://www.urbanroll.net/ikon-shepherd-return-to-africa/ This includes works that have now been inaugurated into the @brentmuseumandarchives as part of the @foh.brent 2021 exhibition at #thelibraryatwillesdengreen Oscar told us: “The photography album shows how great africans are as kings and queens even before colonization. A continent with unique cultures, arts, fashion, rich in minerals and a great heritage . Here in Africa we tell great stories through festivals, photography and Arts. Some of which are in remembrance of our great ancestors who were captured and enslaved. Art festivals are used in essence to talk about our hidden fears and the strength we’ve acquired throughout the years. As 2019 was the “Year Of Return” and also 2020 being “Beyond The Return”, a journey inviting the African family abroad back home and to encourage African diasporas to come back home , to settle and invest in the continent. It also mark 400 years of the arrival of the first enslaved Africans in Jamestown, a town in the central part of Accra Ghana. 2020 being “Beyond The Return” was aimed to build upon the relationship of Africans.” Participants of our project are part of a great legacy and are continuing to go on to do great things! If you participated in The Fashioning our History during @lboc2020 we would be delighted to promote any achievements you have fulfilled since participating on our project! #londonboroughofculture #mylocalculture #culture #art #london #community #heritage #thisistheboroughofcultures #fashioningourhistory #fohbrent #history #fashionhistory #fashion #costume #community #artexhibition #free #freeexhibition #curation #exhibition #exhibitioncuration #edcuation #fashionillustration #brentlibraries (at Ghana, Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZcw-mRNxg1/?utm_medium=tumblr
