Punk to the designer Vivienne Westwood

Image
Punk to the designer Vivienne Westwood challenge her clothes as part of being a strong out look to the punk movement. In my opinion what I like about the punk fashion clothes the decayed style weaving material show an abstract perspective.         “ Buy Less, Choose Well”   Vivienne Westwood   Why I think Vivienne Westwood was courageous in her designs. I see she showed a strong an a non-promoting towards the Hitler Nazis mark, therefore is a sign of brutalism  and hatred not  promoting  the sign to war. I like how Vivienne Westwood proud to show off her designs that are  powerful as she promtes punk as strong and unique style.

Zandra Rhoes Influnce in 1970's

Zandra Rhodes is my main influence in 1970's punk. Zandra’s designs show a courageous style with materials. I have chosen Zandra Rhodes as she is creative uniquely in her own work. Zandra Rhodes punk dresses have an individual look for any personalities. I love her choice in the punk design that shows a strong outcome to punk. My most favourite aspect to her design piece towards her dresses is the tear wholes, safety pins connected with straps. My view toward to Zandra punk designs show off a revealing side to it, but not as male attention perspective therefore as old decay outlook. Both dresses show contrasting and tonal colours, signs from passion and strong of the performance to the dresses. I see how Zandra works designing with construction, as she uses the safety pins for support not a needle and thread. The wholes  repentant that Zandra Rhodes design was the decayed outlook   

Flower Power Hand-Embroidery

Image
My 1970's style hand-embroidery with graduated brightly colours, represent the true look to the 1970's retro patterns. I used different sewing techniques from French knot and Straight stitch. I design the surface pattern in a variety of scale of flowers from the inspiration  in the 1970's. The background colour and the thread shows a contrast that I wanted to express both patterns to the 1970's flower power theme.

      I started designing variety of shapes and forms, I got my creative design idea was from France Hotel Bedroom wallpaper. I used a collective colour slips for decoration I use complimentary colours to show them contrasting together. My influence was on my wallpaper from Paris as it showed the true aspect on the 1970's 

Zandra Rhodes and Vivenne Westwood Punk

Image
Vivienne Westwood and Zandra Rhodes are my most influence design to my 'Nostalgia Decade 70's' project. Vivienne Westwood shows a strong outcome to her designs in the 70's punk fashion to a statement in her clothes.  I personally love the contrast on both designers from Vivienne Westwood and Zandra Rhodes. Their work has giving me influence into the designs and ideas of work that inspired to design my own repentant the 1970's fashion wear from the Punk.

Vivienne Westwood and Katharine Hamnett

My artists research for my homage project wereKatharine Hamnett and Vivienne Westwood. I was much inspired with their homage with words. Katherine Hamnett designs clothes showing  bold text. Katherine Hamnett expresses her designs visually not as a verbal speech. Vivienne Westwood's design collection shows a political statement such as 'Climate Revolution'.
