Fashion Art and Culture

we have just started a new project Fashion Art and Culture.
for our first 3 lessons we had lectures on the past history of fashion art and culture over the past 100 years or so.
i found this so interesting!!!! i have found out soo much more about the past that i didn't know about i have also found out about different subcultures that existed throughout history like the Gibson girls and flapper girls which i found really interesting also about the woman's progression through history and getting rid of the corset and becoming equal to men!
for this brief we have to make a garment or artefact's to be shown on an online exhibition. we have to pick a theme/topic to research into and create an artefact from this.
i have chosen to research into subcultures and i have chosen to make a corset with the ribbons cut to show woman not conforming to the way they were expected to but after speaking to Ian and Sue yesterday i have decided to maybe do a different panel on each bit of the corset and possible screen print on to it a different image from over the years of what that generation of women believable to be controversial to wear or what conformed them during that time in the past.
over the reading week i am going to interview different woman who grew up in different generations from the past century and see what there constraints where.
