For the summer project I've been given the wonderful job of looking at Women's Sports Fashion. You detect my sarcasm? Yes I admit I am not a fan of Sports fashion, however I feel after some research I have found my interest in the area... Sports Luxe. Why should sports wear be something only to be seen in the gym?
I want to use this type of sportswear as my inspiration, looking at loose slouchy silhouettes as well as experimenting with layering and tighter sillhouettes such as leggings. The fabrics I have been looking at have been jersey, sweat shirt, breathables. However I want to look at more luxurious fabrics such as leathers and silks to create a more expensive sporting look.
Inspiration
After been given the starting point of artificial I decided to go to the Damien Hirst exhibition and it was this which has given me my main inspiration. The way in which he takes the most natural things such as animals and the human body and colours them and changes their surroundings has inspired me within the artificial concept. Within the sports luxe trend I am going to take my inspiration down a slightly darker route, however using the tripped out colourings of the spring/summer 2012 trend.
