Seventh Draft

Notes:

I feel like this layout perfectly alligns with my brand. I really like the neutral background colour and the combination of fonts. I think it communicates where I feek like I sit within the industry, it communicates my classic and high-end image mixed with theatrical flare.I do feel however that the body text should potetially be a sans-serif font

Amendments :

I am going to amemnd the main text to a sans-serif font that is still in line with my brand. I also want to add my location and contact details under the introduction paragraph.

F inal Draft

Notes:

I think that this CV is the perfect representation of my brand. I think that it conveys a professional, classic, and high-end look that I want to portray. I feel like changing th ebidy text from a serif font to a sans-serif font improves the legibility of the information and it makes the the look and apperance of the the CV as a whole look far more professional, creative and fashion forward.

Digital CV

What to

Include When looking at what to include in my Digital CV i wanted to showcase aspects of myself that wouldnt necessarily come across in a traditional print CV. these aspects were:

• my video editing skills

• my confidence in front of a camera

• my presenting skills

• my production skills

• my personality I feel like these are rhe aspects that may get lost with a traditional CV and some of which may come through in an interview. However, if the initial step is a CV the potential for not progressing and getting an interview to showcase myself and personality is considerably higher. therefore showcasing these in a video format/digital CV will expand my chances of getting interviews.

I nspiration

I wanted to take inspiration from Vogue’s iconic 73 quiestion series, along with celebrity talk show style interviews. i felt like this was the best was to showcase myself and my skills. However, in oreder to show my personality and theatre background I didnt want to just be sat being interviewd by another person, I wanted to play bothb roles. i took inspiration from movies like the Parent Trap and other kinds of movies e=where the lead actor plays two roles opposite one another. i feel like doing the interview style with myself playing both roles is a good showcase of my talent, skills and personality.

Look1

Look2

This look, styled for AnOther Magazine, features an Alexander McQueen blazer styled with layered shirts and additional garments gathered around the waist, creating a striking visual contrast. The structured tailoring of the blazer sits against the deconstructed, casual layering at the waist, producing a look that references 1980s punk aesthetics while remaining contemporary. The juxtaposition of classic, formal tailoring with unconventional, layered styling creates tension and visual interest, highlighting both the craftsmanship of the blazer and the experimental approach to silhouette and proportion. This contrast adds depth to the outfit and emphasizes the relationship between tradition and rebellion in fashion design.

Exploring this kind of juxtaposition further in research and narrative allows for a deeper understanding of how structured, historical references can be reinterpreted through deconstruction and layering, resulting in looks that feel both familiar and innovative. This approach underscores the potential for blending classic tailoring with experimental styling to create new visual stories in fashion.
