Abstract/Hauptbeschreibung (Englisch)

Nowadays, fashion is an abstract concept. People are experimenting with different looks, combining and wearing clothes in unusual ways to be different and show their identity. Inspiration comes from many aspects of our surroundings and the influence of social media. The same can be said about the vision of the 70s of the 20th century. People’s mindset, way of dressing and lifestyle were heavily influenced by wars, civil rights movements, music and the hippie movement of the late 1960s. The 70s are a great inspiration for both world designers and this collection. The model of the dress is casual, summery, suitable for young girls with a taste for the past. It is made of a light material, such as is used in the summer months, which holds the colors well. The idea for the pattern of the main fabric, the colors and the cut of the sleeves comes from the style of the early hippies, also called “flower children”, the Charleston and the earth colors. The dress combines a bohemian style with a corset, typical of the earlier years of the last century. Accessories include a belt with colorful motifs and boots or platform shoes in tune with the spring-summer 2024 year trends. The cut uses a basic women’s dress construction in a semi-fitted silhouette, the sleeves are flared from the elbow down. The corset uses the same basic construction as the dress. Two shoulder seams are made on the front and back. Front seams are stitched as an accent of the product. The material for making it is polyester imitating suede with a lining from the main fabric of the dress. The interesting thing about the corset is that it is double-faced and can be worn in two ways. Fashion both past and present inspires us to create interesting and extravagant garments that express our identity. The 70s were years of expression, freedom and a desire for justice. That’s why I created this dress with a touch of freedom and extravagance. Key word: women’s dress, 70s, hippie
