(#kcupdate) LCF Men

Louis Smith, British Olympic gymnast, partnered with the well known fashion university, London College of Fashion to launch LCF Men.

LCF Men consists of seven short films produced by London College of Fashion itself. These films will include a 'selection of Britain’s most stylish men from the worlds of design, retail, media, music and entertainment, the films seek to emphasise the creative, cultural and commercial importance of Britain’s global menswear brands and emerging design talent'.

To keep yourself updated with all the new videos I will be updating this post until Jan 30th.

(#kcmoviereview) Bruno

When I typed in 'Fashion films' on the Google this was one of the films that came up. From the name and my preassumptions I didn't think that Bruno was anywhere near a fashion film but I decided to watched the whole thing to find out.

As soon as the film started I really didn't know what I was getting myself in to but I started watching it with no judgement except for the fact that I wanted it to have some educational reference to fashion.

Some parts of the film was a bit awkward but I think that was just due to the nature of the film and the character that Sacha Baron Cohen had to play.

Throughout the film he is constantly making jokes about the fashion industry but in the midst of all that you do see familiar fashion faces when he goes to the catwalk.

About 15 minutes into the film I was actually quiet scared about what was left to come throughout the rest of the film. Maybe it wasn't what was looking for? Then again it does show the reality of some parts of the fashion industry.

I guess any career path can make you or break you. Especially the fashion industry!

There is a bit of nudity so if you're not comfortable with that prepare yourself or don't watch it. Some parts of the film had me a little confused on why it was orignally made. The obsession with wanting to be world famous I think may have taken away the real message of the story even though I'm not sure what it was in the first place.

On Bruno's behalf it is nice to have people or a certain person that is fully behind you and believes that you are something, even if you don't see yourself as something.

As a whole, the film wasn't really what I was expecting I thought it was going to have some educational meaning that brings the whole film together. I would say the song that ends the film had a good message throughout but you have to listen hard to catch the odd few lines that are very positive and charitable.

If you're looking for a 'fashion film' unfortunately I don't think this film is for you.

(#kcstyle) Everyday can be dress up day!

I'm going back to college on Monday and I was thinking about those random days during the week where I used to go out of my way in the morning to make myself feel and look better than normal. Maybe if we all did that everyday we could feel better about ourselves and more confident because if you look good and feel good then I think that's one of the best combinations in the world.

(#kcupdate) New Years Honours List!

Three days into the New Year and I've already learnt something new. I've always known that people got honoured every now and again but I never knew that there was a list that came out at the beginning of the year that listed them and why. I decided to research some of the people I have heard of that have been honoured for their creative work.

Quentin Blake CBE was given a Knighthood for his illustration work. As soon as I saw his work I knew I had seen it in the Roald Dahl books I have read when I was younger.

Tracey Emin was awarded a CBE for her artwork. Studying creative art related subjects since 2005 I'm very familiar with Tracey Emin's textile work and I like how a message is told through her outcomes. One of her pieces of work that stood out to me the most was a bag that was displayed in the V&A Museum, London.

Stella McCartney has been awarded an OBE for her services to Fashion. The whole world has seen Stella McCartney's work at the recent Olympics in London. It enabled the UK to stand out amongst the crowd and be proud to be British!

(#klosetcloset) New Year! New Resolutions?

I just want to say a huge Happy New Year to all my dedicated viewers. I was hoping to upload a post yesterday but as it was New Years Eve that obviously didn't happen but here we are the first KlosetCloset post for the year!!!

If you've made any resolutions for this year that you want to share I'll be happy to read them. Even though I'm never one to keep to new years resolutions thats why I don't religiously make them but I do hope to reach some personal goals in this year. Keep your eyes pealed you might see some of my goals being completed in the near future.

On that note this year go out of your way to make sure you do things that make you happy!!!
