cut to suit inspiration! (edited)
originally, my portfolio for this project, titled cut to suit, was quite different, but i decided to go back and edit my work since i really loved the concept i came up with, just not so much the end result. this project was focused on tailoring, and for my concept i decided to hone in on renaissance and tudor garments, as well as looking to military garments for details, tracing back through the military history within my family. we were also asked to select a 'creative mentor' to whom we looked for overall design aesthetic and inspiration. i chose antony price as my creative mentor, as i thought that the theatricality of his designs would be a nice contrast to the regimented historical aspects of my concept, whilst also tying in with and complementing the exaggerated nature of renaissance and tudor clothing. after editing and refining my work, i am a lot happier with the results and feel that it encapsulates my concept idea a lot clearer.
