By doing this, I have been asked to research the following:
- What is Haute Couture?
- What is Pret a Porter?
- The origins of the Little Black Dress
- What trends will influence your LBD?
I then need to think of a theme and design and develop a range of designs that best reflect that theme.
To start, I visited my massive collection of fashion magazines (Vogue, Elle and Harper's Bazaar) By looking through them, I noticed a lot of underwear as outerwear. I then thought about how to make this feminine and outstanding. This was when I chose my theme, Burlesque. From this, I searched images on the internet to get a general idea for each point of research. I will then gather it all together and start to put together my sketchbook.
