Charity Couture.

My most recent project for university was to explore how charity clothing and haute couture could combine. We first had to go and find garments from the charity shops within Liverpool and see what we could put together that would resemble 'Charity Couture'. I decided take a different route than the usual evening gown and went for a more tailored,structured suit type garment which is sometimes seen within haute couture collections. I found these pieces which are quite 1980's inspired with the bold colour and shoulder pads like some of garments seen in Chanel's and Givenchy's 1980's couture collections. I decided to taper the trousers legs in with a turn up for modern twist as well as making the jacket ever so slightly more shapely. We then went on to do a photoshoot which I styled 1980's inspired and located in a photographic studio using the lovely model Lottie Williams. So here's the final product!
