BaD November 18 - Colour ...

I've always been fascinated by the History of Fashion - wanted to study it but could never afford to do those courses - so I did a lot of Fashion Adjacent courses instead. And so I've done many an exercise in 'Colour Theory' which was always taught in very a perfunctory way - without thought or passion - I couldn't find any of those exercises - I've probably tossed them out.

 

I did come across this one that Aurelia is using as a 'flat-lay' background. Winter 1990 and we had to design a 'range' using a colour palette the teacher called 'Spiced'.

 

Those 'Spiced' colours were 'pumpkin, pistacchio & plum' and my fellow students hated them. I quite liked the idea - the late 80s had seen a lot of strong, bright, 'jewel' colours ... these were softer, muted colours ... so I went with that idea and my 'range' had soft, curvy lines and it was very 1890s ... My love of historical fashion always crept in ...

The teacher did not like all those historical references ...

 

Nevermind - Aurelia likes it ...
