Clothing as Cultural History

In the 1920 the women who wore headbands were cal led F lappers, and they used to wear them to keep their  hair out of their eyes whi le dancing. These headbands where usual ly decorated with embroidery, beads, or a feather.

Klimt’s Frieze was my inspiration especially The Three Gorgons I used the Golden Snakes on their heads, It is an element that reminds me of Klimt’s Frieze

Art: Gustav Klimt

I chose Art Nouveau but Mucha’s Dance was the one who inspired me mostly

From his design I found a small detail that I used for my Headpiece

Design: Art Nouveau - Mucha

The Great Gatsby has a nice variety of female clothing in it, and for me the headbands they wear in the film are very beautiful

I wanted to use the material and style from this particular headpiece and recreate a design from it

Film: The Great Gatsby

Through sketching | started developing my ideas

I started with a mash-up of all the three elements that I liked from the research

Then I came out with a design for my Crown Headpiece

Adding it up

My Design for Today’s Fashion

Looking up the latest trends I have found that crowns are being used by Dolce and Gabbana for this years hair fashion, so my crown can be actually in style with this years fashion trends, and could be worn as a piece of jewellery in a catwalk.

Any Questions???
