- This blog is a part of my development in my third year exploratory studio class. It will aim at furthering my understanding of "SHADOW" and the wider material studies of dress. Any comments and opinions are greatly appreciated! Happy blogging!

This tear sheet has a lot of varying tailored womenswear styles that all have a masculinity to them. I like this aesthetic as it is clean and I think would flatter the craftsmanship that goes into a tailored jacket. The small details such as the minimal collars, welt and jet pockets and sculptural shapes add further to this look.

This Louis Vuitton jacket is a tailored style that uses a fabric with a pattern which is what I am working with for my final jacket. I like this example as it uses such fabric in a modern way via use of vertical seam lines and contrast piping to break up the shapes within the silhouette. The very structured shoulder is also an element i would like to explore as well as the waistline shaping.

In thinking about the function of my final tailored jacket and in correspondence with our fashion history subject, I have been thinking about the vest and it's polished tailored look but with increased ease of movement due to the freedom of arms.
I would love to explore how a vest can be the basis of a jacket that could have removable and interchangeable pieces that are suited to different functions. Sleeves, Collars and Cuffs could all be detachable and interchangeable.....oh in a perfect world!

The "Tux" look is a very polished ideal that has origins of menswear but in these examples has been transformed into womenswear. This masculine aesthetic could be appealing in terms of multi-functional and pursue the traditions of tailoring with a feminine twist.
The comments on image three outline the basis for a whole collection. Why not take this concept and design around it?
