The French Revolution Design Brief was based on the Revolution of France 1789.

"...design a French Brocade Tailored Jacket and matching Tiered Skirt"

Inspiration Board

My inspiration for this design brief was largely based on the decadence before the war and the new found freedom after the Revolution. My focus was on rich colours like gold, deep red, black and Jewel colours combined to create a strong theme through out the range.

My designs was aimed at empowering the femininity that was absent during the Revolution, I used strong style lines to emphasize he female figure, and to elongate the body.
