Fashion!

So now it's time for the fashion elective. We were given a brief with 5 sets of three words on it which we were to use as our themes.....i chose : Flimsy/ ethereal/ fuzzy.
The word ethereal really grabbed my attention as i hadn't seen it before so i started off with some contextual research on ethereal looks. This is what i came across :

 These are some photos from an ethereal photoshoot by fashion photographer Robin Alfain.

 I really loved this image, it has a real old-style feel to it.

After looking through these photos i realised that ethereal design is very floaty, delicate and elegant. It uses light colours such as whites, creams, pale pinks and pale yellows. The garments just seem to float and drape over the figure so elegantly and beautifully. I continues my research with this in mind.

This image was an interesting find. It wasnt as typically ethereal as the above garments but it still had an elegant draping quality to it. 

This is a creation by designer Raquel Allegra, it is one of her ethereal cobweb creations, which have been known to have taken shredded clothing to a whole new level. Whats interesting about these tops and dresses is that they are made out of old L.A County Jail Tshirts. She turns something with such an ugly past into something with such elegance and beauty to it.
