POLITICAL FASHION


For this project I was really stuck on what subject to do it on. I had many ideas, but I didn't know how stable they would be to develop through the whole process. And then bam it hit me. I was reading newspaper and a story came up on a senior member of the royal family having committed a sex offence against an underage girl. This sort of issue really affects me mainly because it's just so morally wrong that it makes my blood cuddle. Looking more into this issue I specifically wanted to focus on the Jimmy Saville scandal. I feel is if his victims didn't get any justice whatsoever due to the fact that he did die before any of this information had been released. I really want to produce an end result that will in some way give justice to the victims and give them a platform to express their hatred. 



The more I researched into this topic the more I was disgusted with it. In particular his abuse he carried out in hospitals especially on mental wards in Broadmoor hospital. 

I then created a mood board to summarize the research that I've done. This included images of hospital gowns, newspaper headlines, and also the concept of transparency as he committed most of his crimes within plain sight of the public eye. I feel this is going to help me progress to the next stage of developing and testing ideas. 

I feel that I have really connected with this project in the sense that I am emotionally motivated to really disgrace Jimmy Saville for what he's done.
