My initial designs for Marlene consist of sleek lines and powerful silhouettes.
My designs for Joyce were worn down and not concious of fashion just function.
My designs for Angie were inspired from my modern take on 80s fashion, but need to be focused in more on authentic 80s fashion.
My initial designs for Kit have chopped and changed, I need to adapt these to include a dress as it says in the script and to best fit the character, I feel the dungarees look is more suited to Angie, but again need to be more authentic, rather then the modern take I have designed.
My designs for the historical characters, I aimed to keep them as realistic and true to the time as possible. This design for Isabella Bird keeps the historical silhouette.
For my Lady Nijo design I need to look more at the 8 and 12 layered gowns which took on a slightly different shape to the geisha look I have designed here. (more like the red design in the middle.)
For Dull Gret there is no real need for design, just to interpret the painting of this character which is leaning more towards the one on the left.
The design for Pope Joan was taken from the film as I feel this is the most authentic design for this character, I am just aiming to make it more wearable for the physical scene it is used in.
My design for Griselda was predominately taken from the painting of her in The Canterbury Tales (left). I also looked at medieval research taking inspiration for shape and colour.
My designs for Win and Nell follow the concept that Marlene's designs do; keeping sleek smart lines and powerful silhouettes. I made Nell look more like Marlene as she is the 'next Marlene', and Win's costume slightly more gentle to reflect her gentler side.
The interviewees follow in the powerful smart wear, but Louise is dressed more powerfully as she ran a business, (was once a 'Top Girl'), Jeanine and Shona however are the weaker characters; too young and wants to get married so wear the gentler lines and have a less powerful image.
The weakest of the cast are the waitress and Mrs Kidd; Mrs Kidd is struggling with her husband and the waitress is ignored by the 'Top Girls', they both wear dull tones to reflect their low status and oppression.
All my designs need to be developed through more research but I have a lot of ideas from looking at my initial ideas and research together so as to improve upon them.
