My collection explores iconic garments, the menswear of the corporate-driven 1980s and 1990s with the iconic womenswear influenced by bombshell actresses of the 1950s and 1960s. I chose these specific garments to create a contrast, for example mixing fabrics not associated with evening dresses can create a modernized look for today's world and a different perception of dresses that has not been seen before. By contrasting these eras, my collection deconstructs iconic examples of masculine suiting from the 80s and 90s and reworking them into the silhouettes of iconic women’s evening wear of the 50s and 60s.
