Elsa Schiaparelli; Circus Collection
These two garments were the best choice of Elsa Schiaparelli in circus collections.
I choose them because, of their colours, designs, meanings and the impact that it had in the audience.
The 'tear dress', it was inspired by her African iconography, that was incorporated in Circus collection. The slim fit, and the split on the side it gives the dress elegance and classic touch, the head-veil makes it even more interesting and secretive to the person that is wearing, creating an illusion.
The colors are bright, it catches the attention of anyone, the most appropriate for the circus.
The materials used were viscose-rayon and silk blend fabric printed with trompe l'oil print.
This garment, could inspire me in my final piece, as it has bright colours that link into my mood board and style as I used a pattern(checks, stipes and also textures) and colour palette (blue, purple, grey and violet). The designs are also very attractive (i.e tear design), but in my sketches I could use one of my geometric shapes as it is inspired by future in fashion. The meaning behind my design will be understood by the research and whole develop as well the ideas.

This garment is another beautiful production of Elsa of the 'Circus Collection'.
What make s this jacket interesting is the bright pink fitted fabric that has repeated horse patterns in blue and the buttons they are made of cast in form of acrobats which is was kinder of her signature as she has done other garments, that the buttons were elephants, dogs and clowns.
The materials used to construct this garments were silk and cast metal buttons.
This gament is very inspirational, as I could use some of my desings and practice the printing and soon as I reach perfection I could apply.
Bauhaus Triadic Ballet
The costumes of the 'Bauhaus Triadic Ballet', were big and attractive and consisted of some geometric forms. In order to produce the enormous garments, the designer took into consideration all the aspects of designing, typography, fashion, architecture and interior design. The designer wanted the audience to figure out geometric forms, balance compositions and an futuristic look in their designs while they perform.
The Bauhaus Triadiac Ballet are known for its large and geometrics garments in their perfomances,that definetly will inspire me for my final garment as I am looking at future in fashion combine with architecture, so different sizes of large garments like normal architure, with the colour and pattern pallete.
Galliano Circus collection
Galliano used circus space with all the assets in it from sand, all way to balls, to create a better atmosphere for the audience.
He also invited the most famous models to take part, in order to promote better.
The garments that I choose from the collection were a bright blazer with sequins and Galliano's name at the back, and also loose trouser with suspenders, with a fitted shirt. The make up team did a perfect job with make up on the models.
Jonh Galiano designs in Circus theme collection will inspire me, by using lots of detail, sequins and embroidery in my final gament, but still linking into my initial development and reserach, and take further, by adding designers ideas directly from the catwalk.
Desigual Du Soleil]
The collection has grown out of the fusion between two worlds which share a passion of evoking emotions, memorable experiences and remaining at the leading edge of creativity and innovation.
The collection, which consists of over 50 different garments and accessories for men, women and children, is based in three distinctive themes: Costumes, Troupe and Human Expressions, it is all seen in Circus show.
Desigual Du soleil and their bright colours,bold designs fashionable designs, are definetly inspirational for my final garment ideas, as with my colour palette I could create a very nice sequins, add my own designs from mood boad, which I created in an illustrator programme and futurely sampling into -t-shirts.
