Costume Design Ideas.....

I found a very interesting website which is basically a fashion archive, it's got some pretty interesting stuff about the clothes around a the time. Here's a little snippit! ........

The year 1968 was marked by the individualist in fashion, and by lawlessness. Anything went! Writing in the Christian Science Monitor in September, fashion reporter Patricia Shelton said: "Any genius can put a wardrobe together—all it takes is an artist's eye for color, line, and rhythm; confidence; a little common sense and a good credit rating. Prices," she added, "are going up." At about the same time, English Vogue wrote: "Fashion is self-consciously sociological and frankly featherbrained. It's classic and immediate. Nostalgic and now. Worldly and other-worldly. Whatever's happening you are part of it and at last you can be yourself and look as you choose."

I thought this was particularly interesting as this is kind of what Warhol was doing with his art, his own thing!! Here's the link to the website - http://www.paperpast.com/html/1968_fashion.html

group idea ass ass ins!

hello Rosie, we have met today and rehearsed the two sequences having a whale of a time :) woop! we'v come up with the idea of using a polaroid camera throughout the performance to take pics of scenes and hang them up on a clothes line with pegs to give the essence of the factory atmosphere as a working habitat omg we'r so clever! also putting up copies of Warhols artwork throughout the piece, so that by the end of the piece we'v created what looks like a factory, omg we'r so clever! let us know what you think of these ideas ta luv xxxxxx
