How Fashion Professionals Are Inspired by History and Culture
How fashion professionals are inspired by history and culture?
It has long been claimed that fashion is a repetition of well-forgotten old. For centuries, designers drew inspiration from ancient cultures and traditions, ancient civilizations, mythical gods and exotic countries. Often the Greek goddesses, who have long manipulated the arts and war, intervened also in fashion. For years the dresses are current, familiar from mythology and the movies with mythological themes - naked shoulder, enchanting sets, lavish tale folds and embellishments of gold.
Retro trends, which also inspired designers, recently make an impact and in their collections.
One of the most inspired collections in autumn and winter this year is Marc Jacobs, who devoted current trend - points.
Karl Lagerfeld’s new designs for this year are strongly influenced by Indian culture. White, gold, black, dress saree type, heavily smokey eyes and very beautiful embellishments are the focus of his fashion show.
Vivian Westwood shows a series of dresses inspired by the diamond jubilee of the Queen, which were designed for the red carpet events. The models are unique, the colours more than fine - pastel, sparkle and grays, and exclusive patterns.
In the new couture collection spring / summer for "Chanel" the main theme in the views of Karl Lagerfeld's game between the rigid lines of jackets - so narrow that fit like a glove, and fairy multilayered skirts reaching just under the knee. The German designer has developed this idea before, but this time supplementing it with long tweed jackets and shirts with turned sleeves. This collection gives both romantic and modern feelings. The Fashion House of "Christian Dior" is inspired by Egypt. John Galliano recreated the splendor of the ancient state in his new fashion line dresses, decorated with precious stones, suitable for a modern Cleopatra, and mummies, wrapped in black tulle, sequins and glittering in rainbow colors.
