This week, i began to develop my designs by looking at chains. This developments stemmed from the belt that the suffragettes used to chain themselves to the rails in protest. I took pictures of chains and edited then in Photoshop to create a collage. I then manipulated certain parts of the collages to create a shape, which i applied to the body.
During a crit, i discovered that how to think about the suffragettes more conceptually. An example was to think about how they were constricted as people and how they were manipulated and controlled previously to the feminist movement. I was advised to look at clothing that restructured the body. I began to look at undergarments such as corsets.
