Female Desire

I took inspiration from the 1940's film "a Streetcar named desire" in which I was interested by Blanche, the main character and the development of her mental health and her dream world. I then became focused on the silhouette from the first trousers worn in the 1940's therefore, creating a tailored bottom. The print is my own design, initially hand done,to portray a mystical madness in a females mind. It still displays a lingerie aspect, as every women can use her sexual desires to get what she wants, as Blanche often does. The outfit creates a interesting contrast between 40's power dressing and deterioation of a young women's mental health.
