3 chosen designers/ brands



Why did I chose this?
I chose Balmain's designs because the silhouettes of the body con dresses are appropriate to Erin's style but in a different variation. The colours are appropriate to her- the minimal amount of colours in each of the embellishments are inspiring. It is effective and bold. I also was paying attention to those jeans they have a diy feel to them but the construction of the jeans at the knees add interest.

Why did I choose this?
Diesel's garments as ensembles or seperates are what my muse would wear. The styling is simple, with jeans/pants as the basis and with different vests and bustier in different materials. The feathered vest is lovely. It uses one element to create the textile but the different tones of the birds' feathers makes it look more three-diamensional from afar. The assymetry of the second vest is cool with the chains. I picked these because Erin likes silver jewellery so we could work on having more chains and silver embellishment on the garment. I chose the bustier because it is leather and the contrast between the stiff bodice and ripped jeans is interesting. The contrast between something new and perfect and then another piece that is completely trashed , ripped or patchworked but in a nice way.

Why did I choose this?
The three silhoettes are appropriate to my muse. The first one of the luxe bandage skirt revealing a lot of legs with a slightly loose "detroyed" tee is definately something she would wear. The colours here are almost similar to the colour palette I've chosen. The black dress with cording is really provocative ad the texture between those chunky cords and sheer fabric is interesting because it adds toughness to an otherwise stripper dress if it were with less thick cords which would possibly cover less area on the garment. The third one of that singlet is a variation of thse white singlet erin wears. this is also transparent but the tone on tone and difference in opacity and textures is contemporary and still sexy. The silky pants are cropped at the ankles have a lot of room at the top which is what she might wear as she likes some of her jeans in a size larger.
