Street style photography
An exciting and
inspiring element of the next set group task, for my Fashion Communication
course, involved street style photography. The week previous to this we were
split into small groups and given an area
within fashion to focus our project on. As I mentioned in my previous post, our
group were given ‘accessories’ and we chose the subcategory to be handbags.
After researching the current bag trends for
AW15 using trend forecasting websites such WGSN we discovered a variety of
different handbags trends which were in for this season. Some of the main
trends we came across were tassel bags, snakeskin and fur. Also ‘city backpacks’
were a popular trend for this season as predicted by WGSN.
As well as gaining professional opinions and
predictions, we wanted to go further than just browsing the high-street stores
for current handbag trends, there was no better way of gathering primary
research than getting out onto the streets and seeing first-hand what trends
people were going for this season.
Below I have included a selection of some of
the best images we captured whilst out on our ‘street style’ photography
mission around Nottingham and the surrounding areas.
City Backpack
As predicted on trend forecasting sites, we expected to see a range of ‘city’ style backpacks whilst out on the street. These bags were mainly spotted on younger students around the University campus which explains a lot about this style of bag; I think these bags are perfect for students as it they are able to carry books and other necessities around, these bags are also really easy and comfortable to carry on your shoulder.
