This week our next project was looking at details and turning it into sportswear. Referencing to historical clothing between 1950s to 1750s, looking at the unique details which present that period. I wanted to focus my research on 1930s fashion looking at the sportswear at that time. Visiting an exhibition at the London Fashion and Textiles museum which presented an all rounded theme of 1930s fashion looking at evening wear, day wear and even work wear. I found that the most interesting details where the pockets and the placements of the fastenings on the garment. Also continuing my research by looking at books and magazines, one piece of research was from a 1939 vogue edition in which I gained a greater understanding of what the overall style was at the time and the common details. Having all this research combined with the modern research that I collected from shops such as Nike and North Face. With this research I was able to combine them together which will inspire me when is comes to designing, to use the modern research to update the details from the 1930s.
