PAST COLLECTION RESEARCH

PAST COLLECTION RESEARCH PAGE- BEAU SCARLETT-PITT - 05/11/14

I wanted to do some past collection research to educate myself on common Jil Sander shapes and also the aesthetic of the brand; clean, sharp and simple. For this I looked at the most recent A/W collection  and drew the reoccurring shapes and styles.

When looking through many past Raf Simmons for Jil Sander collections, one collection that related to our concept was A/W 09/10. There were cinched in waists which touches on the verge of androgynous dressing for men. This is something that I hope to reference through my designs for the upcoming A/W range.

This piece of research, however fundamental was a tad boring. It didn't necessarily get my creative juices flowing but I suppose that this research needed to be done in order to remind myself of the designer that I am working for.

As part of further development, I hope to tweak these common styles and overlay my proposed shapes from my prior research on Eadweard Muybridge's works on the male and female figures in motion to see how the two clash or intertwine.
