future direction themeboard...

I created this theme board to shoe where i am going with my collection ideas. I think I'm going to design a spring summer collection, so I've been on to the wgsn website to check the colours and themes for next summer. I want my collection to have a quirky yet feminine edge, and i love cut and pasting my designs onto photos. This isn't one of my designs, but it gives you an idea of my thoughts. My collection is based on 1950 fashion scene and Russian Matryoshka Nesting dolls. My collection will be highly shapely, with a mix of mini dresses and over sized shirts. They will have great impact either through shape or colour. I think i am focusing on the Great British Summer Time, as i get the feel from my research that that is what Brits lived for, fun and frolics, after the war deprived them of all fun. I want to celebrate 'British' so if anyone who reads this can comment on me to see what you think defines BRITAIN and whats typically BRITISH that would be great. I'm going to get another questionnaire together to ask people of the 50's era what they think is or was typically British in the 50's.
