Beginning with the concept of juxtaposition, I sought to create a collection with a target market of women between the ages of 35-55 (as was the assignment). I wanted a collection that incorporated contrasting, yet complimentary elements. Elements such as masculine and feminine, neutral hues mixed with color, and industrial zipper closures constructed into natural and organic fabrics. I drew inspiration from YSL's Le Smoking, Marlene Dietricht, and Sharon Stone (and her wardrobe)
in Basic Instinct. I also played with the idea of architecture translated through design and construction. Various pleating methods, inset flanges, a stand-away bodice, and cut-outs helped bring that idea into my collection. These shaping methods, which tend to have a very angular and tailored connotation, were applied in ways that still lent a feminine and natural feel to the garments. This brought my collection full-circle, back to the idea of juxtaposition.
