my one pathetic last minute post

I cannot believe I did not attend to this blog and focused solely on my journal.
eek.

anyway I shall go over my presentation points in this post.

concept:

I viewed annette kellerman in a broader sense, as a member of this body of "modern" and radical women. So with the help of the ideas raised in my other other subjects fashion and modernity and modernism I explored women in annette kellermans time, and the idea of the modern woman.

This led me into modern art at the time and the waves of different movements, expecially cubism and futurism, so i explored paintings and sculpture from this movements and time periods and found this exiting inspiration material. This led me to this idea that radical and modern and feminist women in twenties showed that they were part of this movement of women by wearing geometric textiles and garments. So i explored the idea of geometry as symbolic of the ideals of feminism and the to extent ideals annette kellerman embodied.

I found all these wonderful images of women in geometric, very 'modern' garments against these very art deco and very geometric backgrounds. This idea of geometry led me to focus on shapes and the way shapes connect e.g. in the cubist paintings and sculptures I researched.

And this led me to thinking about creating interesting, intersecting shapes on the body.

In terms of trends, I researched a trend of high , almost puritanical turtlenecks contrasted with interesting, racy cut outs. I also really got into the trend of cut-outs in swimwear and in general being really popular so I drew on that because I dont think its run its full course and it worked with my concept of creating interesting goemetric and angular shapes on the body.
