This image is research for my A2 Product Design: Textiles course, in which I am making a contempory suit inspired by the 1940s era. One form of research that I conducted was reading 'The Dior Revolution' by Nigel Cawthorne. The image was origionally a photograph that I sketched with no alterations or development made. I did this because I wanted to see what elements of the 'New Look' my client liked and what elements she did not. This helped me as a designer because I could take elements from the 'New Look' and combine them with other styles of the 1940s, such as military uniforms, and combine them to finish with a piece that has been inspired by the 1940s and is not a 1940s replica outfit.
