On the third of February me and the most of my college course are going to London and Paris… I cannot wait!!!!!!

We are only going on a four day trip and I have nearly filled a LARGE suitcase with different, brand new outfits that I will probably not have the time to wear, so I’m going to set myself a challenge and change outfits as many times as I can. Maybe the photos will look like I’ve been there longer than I actually have? Knowing me I will probably stay comfy in my onesie, they were sent from the designers of heaven I’m sure, amen to the onesie!

 

This is my design based on Art Nouveau.

 

Art Nouveau is a style of art, architecture and applied art. It was most popular during the 1910’s. Art Nouveau is considered a "total" art style, embracing architecture, graphic art, interior design, and most of the decorative arts including jewellery, furniture, textiles, household silver and other utensils and lighting, as well as the fine arts. According to the philosophy of the style, art should be a way of life. For many well-off Europeans, it was possible to live in an art nouveau-inspired house with art nouveau furniture, silverware, fabrics, ceramics including tableware, jewellery, cigarette cases, etc. Artists desired to combine the fine arts and applied arts, even for utilitarian objects.

 

My design was inspired by the art nouveau graphics, the back of the dress is based on women’s long hair in the posters.

For my fashion history course homework I had to design either a modern outfit or costume based on the Victorian ear. So I did some research on pinterest and found this burgundy dress. I took inspiration from this garment and interpreted the neck line plus the detail into my design of the Victorian blouse. I then use bloomers for sleeves and gathered the material in at the wrist with a lace and flair trim. This top also has bones inside to give the woman shape as would a corset. Obviously since the Victorian era style has changed massively so this design could be worn with either skinny light denim jeans or black leggings. I have styled the garment with jeans and a simply black high wedge shoe and long messy hair with a middle parting.

York trip - today's outfit - this camouflage green above the knee sleeveless dress matches well with my red hair. I like this dress because it can be dressed up with accessories or kept casual with leggings, flat shoes and minimal accessories. For my trip to York I made this dress look casual, with adding a simple black cardigan which I've customize with different shaped and multi-coloured buttons, a blood red bag to match with my hair and novelty gold ring. I wore black dolly shoes which are decorated with gold flower studs.
