Retro Hollywood Glamour

I thought I would show you some of my work that I have been working on over the last month in university. This project was very free range and I was able to design under my own label "Anthony Yassin Couture"

I designed a range of women's evening wear garments that will be made to measure. The range was inspired by two exhibitions that I visited "Valentino: Master of Couture" at Summerset House and the "Hollywood Costumes" at the V&A. I was so inspired by these exhibitions that I based my concept on old hollywood glamour, I wanted to design a collection around this theme, with pieces such as the little black dress and cocktail dresses. All of this would be infused by couture fashion design and fabrics, with embroidery an surface detail like hand beading. I wanted to use key elements from this concept to see the clear link in my designs, such as colour and fabric but most importantly silhouette. But i really wanted to create something new with a twist and bring this theme up to date and modern for Autumn/Winter 2014.
