Juxtaposed: Initial Research

The first independent assignment brief we have been given is titled 'juxtaposed.' The brief states we need to look at a minimum of two different sources of inspiration and eventually create a fully realised outcome. I decided to begin with some research.

Rodarte SS15
Juxtaposition between the delicate fabric over the left breast and the powerful, violent spikes on the right. 

Dries Van Noten S/S 2015
Juxtaposition between the spotted jacket pattern and the striped pattern on the trousers. 

Balmain SS 15
Juxtaposition here between the strong, tailored suit and the bare flesh which suggests a vulnerability.

Here there's a juxtaposition between the sheer, draping fabric of the dress compared to the heavy, structured jacket.

Juxtaposition between the elegant, romantic rose and the sharp white mosaic panels.

Iris Van Herpen Haute Couture Spring 2013
Juxtaposition between the violent shards and the vulnerable bare back.
