Research: Black Mirror Rewatch

I know that for my collections i want to tie in my fears of the elite having control of the future of technology with the very literal technology look that is my branding. The best way i can explain the ideas for my future concepts is through how Charlie Brooker explores his thoughts and ideas through Tv Series Black Mirror. I think its very interesting to constantly question the world around us And consider what the possibility of the future of mankind will be like if it continues heading the way it is going. I have some very negative views about the world we live in which consists of hating how right wing governments have become, wishing for a greener world and seeing the destruction that can be caused through fear-mongering online. I see my fashion collections as a chance for me to explore and discover these concepts and their effect on the future, each couture collection i produce will be an artwork inspired by the complexity of each subject.

For now i am not focusing on the concepts individually as these will be chosen and developed purposely for each collection. However i am starting by learning and discovering what it is about these dark subjects i want to explore and why. Black Mirror showcases a new theme each episode. Taking us to a completely new world, be that futuristic, parallel to our own or completely galactic. They highlight through these narratives a deeper meaning which makes us reflect on life as we know it. I want this effect on the viewer or consumer of my couture fashion. I want the visuals to be a disturbance that leaves them thinking about my concept. The collections concept has a purpose of creating new feelings in people. A dark realisation of a gloomy future or a migraine like sensation due to the intensity.
