A bit of Fashion Research

This is Stephen Jones


The shoe hat is particularly irritatingly brilliant as a friend and I were only discussing this concept the other day! And now I've found out that its already been done.

I love his variety with the punk esque union flag hat and the chic paint palette one, and then the totally amazing acrylic one!!! Its totally wearable genius.

Madeleine Vionnet is, in my opinion, the creator of the 1920s free flowing fashion. She is the inventor of the bias cut (cutting the fabric at a 45 degree angle so it fits the body better) and the banisher of the corset!
She was heavily inspired by greek clothing, and the concept of greek beauty, and this is evident in her work, where she chose goddess-like models to wear her designs.



 



Elsa Schiaparelli is the inventor of quirky fashion. She spent a lot of time working with Salvador Dali and it shows! Yet another shoe hat that I never knew existed! Her designs are not at all bizarre compared to the designers of today, but for the times, her designs were chic enough to be worn by women in public, but just that little bit adventurous.





 This is the textile that Dali created for her.

I really love all of his work as it is so sculptural and beautiful at the same time, I cant really relate it to my project at all but I love it so I've put it in! Hes designed gaga's dress so that's got to be something, you know you're weird when she wears your stuff!


I'm going to say no more than 'omg a dress that is also a table'.



want one

Philip Treacy is my new hero. I found some of his work in a book I have and decided to research further... his hats have been worn by Lady Gaga, Cheryl Cole, Sarah J-P and Naomi Campbell! He's the artist you know but don't know the name of!!!

 This was what caught my eye

 Naomi and Campbell's soup... ha!







And Kate middleton!?!
