Final Concept

Final

Concept

As from my research and work on my entries of Design, Art and Film, I came up with an idea of fashion where I took the film of Romeo and Juliet of 1996 and copied the dress of Juliet’s during the party where she met Romeo for the first time. She had a slim long white dress with wings attached to her back. I had the idea of planes and the wings as Design of Juliet were a perfect match of my concept, so I added the wings bigger and brighter. I added  the De Stijl style as an Art part in my work where I put patches on the dress and wings.

I added the wings of the dress because of my design entry of airplanes that have a huge role in them. I left them the same shape but bigger and with a brighter colour of yellow.

 They look almost the same. From this wing of the aircraft and Juliet’s costume.

 As for the art in it, De Stijl was the best part it completes the dress. I thought whether I do it in full of boxes, lines and colours but it would become much bright and confusing so I just added patches with a few boxes and balanced it with colours. The colours that I used are yellow, red, blue and green. Very bright colours that match the style of De Stijl.

So my final drawing came in a white dress with patches of De Stijl style together with the wings but in a more yellow colour and used the model from the film of Romeo and Juliet.

 I did not give detail to the model because it was not that important and I could not manage to do the whole dress because in the film there is not a full capture of it. I am very pleased with what I came up and it helped me to include and experiment differently with other elements and materials.
