More Wearing St Paul's Cathedral...

I promised you more graphics!!! Again what garments do you see?



Wearing St Paul's Cathedral...

As I said earlier, I used images of St Paul's Cathedral, London as inspiration for the silhouettes in the collection. 

What garments can you see???


 
More ideas will follow shortly so keep your eyes peeled!

Interesting Facts!!!

I have used images of St Paul's Cathedral which are then placed against a fashion croquis to try interesting silhouettes for the collection. I used St Paul's Cathedral as silhouette inspiration because I researched a bit on Mary Wollstonecraft who was a governess and the author of "Frankenstein".



 Mary Wollstonecraft was a feminist as well as an influential author.



Feminism which is quite relevant to being a governess and it made me think of the famous Suffragettes in the 1910s. In 1913, the Suffragettes planted a bomb under the Bishop's Throne in the quire of St Paul's Cathedral. In the same year, Emily Davison (a Suffragette), ran in front of the King's Horse in a derby.
