I was looking to find some fashion stories that captured the essence of my theme in terms of garment silhouette, colours used and suitable stylings. These images from September's British Vogue define
my theme and suit the Miu Miu brand as being:
- eccentric - redefining and challenging the norms and conventions
- playful and childlike - the cartoons and action figures portrayed in the background reiterate the use of childhood fantasies within previous Miu Miu collections
- fashion forward - the silhouettes and form of the outfits are quite radical and unusual
- avant guarde - the colours and imagery here are thought provoking and eyecatching.
The colours of a mainly grey base, utilising textured fabrics and those with grains for a darker appearance are effective. When paired with the red and violet blue it gives a high level of contrast between the high and low chromas. These colours suit well to my theme of Dada updated for Autumn/Winter 09/10 as a whole package, visually they are graphically similar to the effect I want to create with my collection.
Next I wanted to find evidence of design styles and silhouettes for my collection, so as to ensure my designs were following on from the current seasons. The example below from Vogue details the sharp angular nature of Autum/Winter trends, the emphasis on the shoulders, exaggerated tailoring and the sectioning off of parts into colour blocks. All these factors, along with the black and white tone give the images quite a hard and severe look. My collection will take inspiration from these but with the patterned sections in softer colours, juxtapositioning nicely with the angualr shapes.
