The brief for my first major project is to adapt an active sport... .
..and throw in an embellished cultural piece. I'm working with a lovely piece of antique purple silk from Afghanistan with embroidery and mirrors.
Any ideas/places to look for inspiration? I'm debating between American football and sky diving.

I don't have much ideas to share, but I love the sky diving idea! ;)
ReplyDeleteCheck out those earrings. Fabulous.
ReplyDeleteHi i.d.! I love your ideas, and the fabric from Afghanistan sounds amazing! I like the American football idea, and don't know if you've seen the movie Mongol, but the costumes for that movie were gorgeous, I'm visualizing a cross between the two, but using your fabric...Haha, quite a mish mash...

PS. Forgot to answer your Q you left on my blog, unfortunately I didn't buy anything in Double Bay (well, fortunately, for my bank account...haha) So, all my shopping was done on the first day.
that is a tough project because i am clueless and i would never know where to start when it comes to fashion, but the first photo is a memorable editorial!
ReplyDeleteSo strong and bold - i love it
ReplyDeletehmm i'd say american football would be the obvious (and cliche) choice just because of the giant shoulder thing haha. sky diving sounds interesting, does it have to be practical?
ReplyDeleteafghan silk sounds so posh!! post some photos when youre done!! :)
Wow! That sounds like an incredible assignment. I hope we get to see the result. The sports you picked sound great.
