The first time that black could be worn outside of a mourning period was in 1926, when Coco Chanel introduced,"the little black dress". The little black dress is a short simple black dress that can be worn for absolutely anything and never goes out of style.
The reason why I have a little bit Of history on the little black dress on this post is because im now going to explain the project that I just completed of "the little black dress". The brief that i was given explained that I had to research the history of the little black dress; produce mood boards; research designs; design little black dresses and hats to match them. However, for this project I had to make a hat/ head piece as, this project was only two weeks long so I couldn't make both the dress and head piece.
These are a few images on the ideas I had on my hat designs and I used some of these on my mood board.
The reason why I chose to look at bows is because I researched the character of dorothy in the Wizard of Oz the 1939 film when bows first became a popular hair piece.
After, all of this I went onto designing then making my head piece. I will get photographs of these asap.
