Sherlock Holmes
I recently went to see the Sherlock Holmes film, and i was amazed with the costume throughout the film. It captured the look of the smart, classic, almost dramatic male and rather than following the story line, I was just waiting for the next outfit change!

Tutorial with Josh
I had my second tutorial today, and after the first one where i left still feeling a bit lost, i feel like i have turned a corner and i feel inspired!
I always knew since MPP that i wanted to make capes, i just had to figure out a theme and a solid reason as to how i get to the designing point; a reason behind my research. I do tend to work backwards!
After drawing the pictures from Wind in the Willows, which i didn't want to over-do, as my aim was to use this as a tool of inspiration, not to base my project on, i had to think of something to encorporate it with.
I like the traditional classic British style of menswear with soft tailoring and heavy weight A/W fabrics. I just needed to put my unique twist on it and to make me more contemporary.
After explaining my concept vaguely of what i wanted to Josh (one of my tutors) we came to the conclusion of mixing it up with military/utility wear taking aspects of the many details involved in the making up of these garments.
I also like the idea of detachable clothing and hidden aspects to garments.
More to come when i have looked more into my new books from the library on army uniforms and such...

Dover Street Market
On Saturday i went to Dover Street Market to have a look round. The layout was really nice and spacious and it was lovely to stroll around amongst all the beautiful designer clothes.
This Lanvin mens display was my favourite part. I love the models with their moustaches and hessian heads! Even though their bodys are only 2D the clothes still seem to fit and look great.

Fabric Swatches
After seeing Carlo I went to get some fabric inspiration.
I went to the Cloth House and MacCulloch & Wallis LTD who were happy to give me some free fabric swatches of my choice.
