Just before D main Presentation
After my brief presentation on research strategy and feedback I received from it I realised that I was generalising the term street style I needed to be specific and understand its deeper meaning.As per the dictionary it refers to off beat or avant garde Fashion inspired by contemporary culture or urban street people.So i think I need to classify further What does offbeat or avant garde really means in true sense and to people as well.What does it signify in the true sense.I also need to jot down then out of all the things which is the main area iam focussing at.I somehow feel for this the best way would be to understnad the pschology of people on the streets probably It can provide me with better understanding of street Fashion is ,what do people take it now,in the end what parameters iam looking it.So I feel now that it is all messed up.It gets very confusing at times. What should I really look at.
To make my understanding more clear regarding street fashion &what im looking at .I strted clicking pics of people and also taking videos,interviews of people infact a tried to makea documentary .But I faced loads of problem with this firstly because technically I didnt knew how it was done really .But somehow I managed talking to broadcasting people about the camera angles etc asI had no clue of how to go about it.It was really a task to plan a indepth research but with not knowing the means of how to do it.Still I feel so good about the fact that atleast I took the risk Of exploring ina completely different area and tried to experiment.

Finding the question is sometimes a big ??? in itself
My first ever presentation on literature review which was basically explaining about your topic of research and what text would i be reading and analysing as per my topic chosen.
TEXT &READING these are two things which im not to fond of mainly because i take a lot of time in reading and analysing and if the subject doesnt interest me i stop reading it .So it was really a task for me to get into the habit of reading firstly before even choosing a topic.So iam sure by the end of this project I would definately be thanking Mark&Jeremy for making me well read if not anything else.
So now i had to choose my topic i started looking to what is it that interests me? ,What is it that i want to read about ?,Probably What aspect in Fashion I dont know that I want to know about? What is it that interest me in London ?
I came with two answers one was Fashion And the other one was Street!!
I somehow wanted to mix the two in a unique blend and then my heart gave the answer it was Street Fashion
Why Street Fashion?Why not something else?
The drive which brought me to London was that I had heard and through research seen how Fashion originated from the streets of UK.Also hinting at my interest in Fashion styling because whenever i used to design my collections i unlike a fashion designer prefered imagining the look from head to toe rather than concentrating on just the garments only. After Going through that Fashion street blog and various designers who had taken inspiration from street style and my desire to do something related to Fashion Promotion.
So i was juggling between Fashion Design,Styling & Promotion.
Truly At an MA level an unexpected & state of dilemma.
To answer all the confusions in my mind i thought Street Fashion would give me the opportunity to research about this and also would serve asa great inspiration tool for my Final Project.
I read book by Dick Hebdige where he has defined street Style asa subculture trying to voice an opinion through clothes.
Some of the stuff he had mentioned went above my head may be because in todays time where one has one more than one forums to voice our opinion i couldnt relate to it at all& i had different image about street fashion.
So now i had to formulate the research question for my presentation??
Through my research i had got to know that there were many factors mainly social,economic affecting street fashion asa whole
