A member of the DAAP Fashion Design class of 2009, Ena’s senior collection was inspired by colour and shapes, and each piece is patterned from a different basic geometric element. Sandra is the wonderful model.

The Dawn of Man: The full sketched collection

September 21st, 2009 Filed under: Fashion by Nathanael

I sketched 50 full looks before editing down to 6 final pieces that I would create. I still love and would be incredibly excited to bring every piece to life. Until then, they remain on paper.

The Dawn of Man: Explained

September 19th, 2009 Filed under: Fashion by Nathanael

Before even beginning to sketch my collection for my thesis, I spent two weeks researching and discovering what I wanted to say. In a broad sense, all of history emerged as my inspiration. This is the statement to my thesis that was the foundation for the collection:

Though the dawn of mankind into existence may evoke the beginning creation story, there have been defining moments in our history beyond then which have marked civilization with revolutions, rather than mere steady evolution. Amongst these vast periods of calm change, all of humanity as a culture has experienced these moments and revolutions and times that propel us forward, catapulting civilization to thunderous new heights, or thrashing it to utter demise. These revolutions are each a new Dawn. To man’s history, they are beacons, like Gandhi and Mozart are to peace and music. These are revolutionary times that, in an almost inhuman way, have changed the future. These revolutions have formed pinnacles of societies that have not only formed the magnificent foundation for modern civilization, but have yet to be surpassed in glory, genius, or power. These revolutions are the discovery of fire, the great pyramids, Caesar’s empire, the Italian Renaissance, the plague, ancient Greece… In these moments and fragments of time, more has been decided and discovered, more has been accomplished or challenged, more has been changed than in all near history combined. Each is a dawn of man. When man breaks through the walls of impossibility and time and erupts forth a new creature to form a new world, rushing still forth to the next revolution.

Lights Out

March 13th, 2009 Filed under: ...Just Words by Nathanael

I am working on a “Lights Out” feature for the site to make some of the galleries easier to see. You can test it out here http://nathanaelporembka.com/photography/women/by clicking the Sun icon at the bottom of the page.

Is it useful? Does it need to be labeled? Where should it go on the page? Email me or comment here to let me know your thoughts!
