The fashion project

Our second week was dedicated to fashion. After a visit to the MET Museum , our class was challenged to design any garment desired inspired by one of the Louis XIV rooms.

I picked the room above. I was enchanted by the red tone and gold elements  

These columns really caught my attention for their elaborated gold features and and opulent details. They really emphasize the  lavish lifestyle of king Louis XVX 

I decided to incorporate the shape of the column onto the dress and keep the same floral pattern .   

I used flexible wire to make a structural round shape for the skirt 

Thin fine gold paper was used and individually hand cut to make the flowers that were to go on the skirt  

duck tape was used to give strength in order to place the waxy white paper. Golden ribbon was used on the skirt to  make the same patter as the column   

The final result.
