My first taste of fashion collage, we have all been set a task. We had to research a designer, who we had never heard of before which inspired us. I chose Mariano Fortuny.
Mariano Fortuny, was one of the great creative minds of the 20th century. He created he 'delphos robe' in pleated silk, designed in a revolutionary shape, inspired by Ancient Grecian gown, the long dresses were simple and loose, shaped to fit a natural women's body silhouette. Before being manufactured, the silks were dyed in every colour imaginable, with different designs or color combinations, changing according to light and movement. Fortuny rebelled a lot, the fashion before him was very tight corsets and big heavy skirts, they didn't show the natural beauty of women's silhouette, were as his style was very loose and fitted the body perfect. His fashion style really inspires me, as my two favorite style's are Grecian and historical.
Great blog! Will have to google this designer ;) x
