Queens and Power
My project, Queens and Power, is based on how queens gain power in a world predominantly ruled by men.
The focus of my project will centre around Queen Mary I, Queen Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria. These three queens are inherent royals and perfect examples of women who had to fight to gain the same power and respect as men in their respective time periods. Throughout this project I will analyse these three queens and take inspiration from their time period of rule and historically significant events to inform my art direction and create a collection that empowers women.
The outcome of this project will be a 6 look collection for A/W 2024. This luxury couture collection will explore the craft of corsetry, with tailoring influences, and represent the three queens stories through the garments.
