Sketchbook Work: AS Vinatge Project, Horrockses exhibtion at FTM
When researching Vintage fashion I came across an exhibition at the Fashion and Textiles Museum. This was titled Horrockses Fashions in the 40's and 50's. This is highly suitable to my project because it fits the vintage theme, it is within the make do and mend era and the design shapes of some of the dresses are in a corset style. The Horrockses work shows an emphasis on pattern, colour and styling which was a big contrast to World War II. Horrockses designs were really about making a statement with the luxuriousness of it all and the use of colour with busy patterns. Fitted tops and flared skirts feature heavily in the designs. The Horrockses designs will form the basis of my design inspiration and I will experiment with different fabric techniques.The design here is what I used for my colour palette as it was fun and bright.
