For our groups choice of Get the look vidio we decided to film in the V&A musuem as this was were we were taken on an outing to explore fashion and its eras. Our vidio expresses why each one of us has choosen the particular era we are talking about and the reasons we beleive it has been so influentual. I choose the era 1930's and sophie choose the 1920's, carlie the 1950s and annabell the 1960's. I beleive the 1920s was an influentual era as it represented freedom and expression it was also a decade of dance and jazz music a social whirl as womens clothing particulary evening wear was designed to move and shift. This helped to shape the modern womanas designers planned to banish the corset in their creations. Channel was also a big influentual designer and we still have her as a rolde model today for her ability to recognize the needs and desires of what woman in fashion wanted. Leading onto the 1930s with the great depression following through from the 20's, this was a decadewere the war had influenced day to day wear, as it was now more practical and formal. The female shape had also changed to a more natural shape and fashion became an indicaition of social class, women were able to wear suits and this had an influence on today as we have much more day wear now and fur coats from the 30s are still a big feature today in fashion, society wise our clothing acceptance is now much more diverse and women ccan be seen in what is more formal, practical clothing. Moving onto the 1950s this was an era of rock and roll and retro vintage wear. inspiraition came from American films, tv and music which artists like the beatles are still popular today. Socially it was a decade for the rebellious teenager! many gangs were formed such as the Greasers and teddy girls and boys which influence affected modern genraitions of today, rocking leather jackets, slicked back hair and smoking. Taking a look into the 60s the vidio informs us of a simular trend of the 1950s that had moved through the decades, black leather jacket but with fringes, this and many bright colours were influentual of the 60s as women would wear bright psychedlic clothing, short skirts and men seen in lighter and brighter suits with wider labels. I beleieve this vidio informs the reader of all our personal reasons of why we like and had choosen thoose particular fashion era, it also links each decade in to ways it relates with the different eras.
