Our brief was Catastrophe: Protect Hide Move Search.The year is 2011 and we are living in an apocalyptic environment. We were to choose a disaster and create a garment that would be suitable and protective for us to survive this new world.
I started by doing broad research into lots of natural disasters and survival.
I was really interested in Global warming and the rising sea levels and so decided that my apocalyptic world would be under water.
When i looked at Alexander McQueen's Atlantis collection it really inspired me. It really fit
with my theme and I love the shapes he made with his clothes and also the way that he used the hair style to really compliment his garments and set a scene.
I then looked at Versace and there was 1 dress in particular, it is blue and it really reminded me of underwater and the beauty of the ocean. This inspired m
e
to make my theme a little more interesting than just the world sinking and humans trying to survive.
Now that I had chosen my theme I started to research further into it. I looked at the environment, sea levels in the news and the devastation that rising sea levels has already caused.
I saw a photoshoot in the Central St. Martins magazine and the photos all looked underwater, i used it to see how fabrics move in the water, there is 1 picture where the material looks like it is floating away from the model and I really like the effect it gives.
