A visit to the majestic Nottinghamshire estate of Newstead Abbey, the birth place of the poet Lord Byron, facilitated by NTU International Office’s South Asia and Africa team. Students from these regions were invited to attend and those who could make it were captivated by a guided tour of the house, which also presented some dressing up opportunities in old-fashioned outfits. There was also a traditional English cream tea, which refuelled everyone before the afternoon walk around the beautiful gardens and lake.

+ + MASHA

My therapy to escape is her journey to freedom. She lives in an fantastical land, where society is rigid and one must behave according to rule. There are no other choices. She is drowning in society, and dreaming of escape. She begins her escape. She is being chased, she is running, her dress is morphing. She can taste the freedom from behind the city walls. She is afraid she may not make it, her dress gets ripped. She is almost free, she is climbing the city walls, her dress suddenly changes color. She is free. Everything is beautiful.

Masha Ruginets, the designer and owner of “Masha” has loved fashion her whole life. She started designing at a young age, first making clothes for barbie dolls and her first pair of pj pants at the tender age of 13. She currently holds a degree in Fashion Design from Parsons, as well as a B.Com from the University of Toronto. Masha has intensively studied the techniques of the pattern-magic book, drape-drape books, as well as the transformational reconstruction and subtraction cutting techniques. These techniques focus on a new way of design, void of darts and princess lines, meanwhile preserving a beautiful silhouettes – something Masha is very passionate about. Her work has been featured in the Parson’s Spring Festival and Masha currently works out of Toronto, focusing on developing her online boutique www.imobsessedwith.ca, as well as developing an avant-garde line under the label “Masha”.

My therapy to escape is her journey to freedom. She lives in an fantastical land, where society is rigid and one must behave according to rule. There are no other choices. She is drowning in society, and dreaming of escape. She begins her escape. She is being chased, she is running, her dress is morphing. She can taste the freedom from behind the city walls. She is afraid she may not make it, her dress gets ripped. She is almost free, she is climbing the city walls, her dress suddenly changes color. She is free. Everything is beautiful.

ASPHYXIA – Images by Santiago Ortega - |FAT| Fashion Art Toronto 2013 - April 23, 2013 - #FAT2013

Check out these 1920 fashion images:

ASPHYXIA – Images by Santiago Ortega - |FAT| Fashion Art Toronto 2013 - April 23, 2013 - #FAT2013

+ + REQUESTS

+ + + + Email to requests@mainstre.am with the reference information.

+ + + + Available for editorial use. Commercial licensing may be available if your work appears in this image.

+ + ASPHYXIA

Asphyxia’s work has been called “bad-ass femininity,” “dark and daring,” “pin-up dominatrix chic,” and “bordello in hell.” The most most recent collection, BLOOM, was presented at |FAT| 2012. Hannah Yakobi (Fajo Magazine) tweeted live “Punk, goth, power … dress being cut live onstage!” Style Empire called the collection “edgy and modern attitude… designs offset by the classic lines and materials that are very reminiscent of a 1920′s flapper,” and said “while everybody left the show alive it’s safe to say that Alexandra De Francesco’s collection entitled Bloom took our breath away…”

+ + ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

An edgy innovator, Alexandra De Francesco immerses herself in inspiration and is always pioneering new heights in dark and one of a kind wearable art by employing unconventional materials with exceptional and dynamic results. Reverence for classical lines and shapes is reinterpreted through the exploration of a virtual Pandora’s box of references; including nature, feminism, philosophy, sustainability, history, the occult, body modification, ritual customs, memento mori, mourning and decay. She enjoys breathing new life into a variety of organic and salvaged materials such as disintegrating lace and beadwork, ancient silks, recycled fur and leathers alongside hand-spun water soluble threads, hand-dyed and silkscreened fabrics. Look for incredible textures, distressed fabrics, intricate and delicate beadwork and tiny remembrances worn close to the heart, brought together with new meaning in pieces that strengthen and empower.

+ + ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

An edgy innovator, Alexandra De Francesco immerses herself in inspiration and is always pioneering new heights in dark and one of a kind wearable art by employing unconventional materials with exceptional and dynamic results. Reverence for classical lines and shapes is reinterpreted through the exploration of a virtual Pandora’s box of references; including nature, feminism, philosophy, sustainability, history, the occult, body modification, ritual customs, memento mori, mourning and decay. She enjoys breathing new life into a variety of organic and salvaged materials such as disintegrating lace and beadwork, ancient silks, recycled fur and leathers alongside hand-spun water soluble threads, hand-dyed and silkscreened fabrics. Look for incredible textures, distressed fabrics, intricate and delicate beadwork and tiny remembrances worn close to the heart, brought together with new meaning in pieces that strengthen and empower.

Asphyxia’s work has been called “bad-ass femininity,” “dark and daring,” “pin-up dominatrix chic,” and “bordello in hell.” The most most recent collection, BLOOM, was presented at |FAT| 2012. Hannah Yakobi (Fajo Magazine) tweeted live “Punk, goth, power … dress being cut live onstage!” Style Empire called the collection “edgy and modern attitude… designs offset by the classic lines and materials that are very reminiscent of a 1920′s flapper,” and said “while everybody left the show alive it’s safe to say that Alexandra De Francesco’s collection entitled Bloom took our breath away…”

Newstead Abbey Visit – April 2012

Check out these fashion in pakistan images:

Newstead Abbey Visit – April 2012

Image by Nottingham Trent University
A visit to the majestic Nottinghamshire estate of Newstead Abbey, the birth place of the poet Lord Byron, facilitated by NTU International Office’s South Asia and Africa team. Students from these regions were invited to attend and those who could make it were captivated by a guided tour of the house, which also presented some dressing up opportunities in old-fashioned outfits. There was also a traditional English cream tea, which refuelled everyone before the afternoon walk around the beautiful gardens and lake.
