Frida - esque Intimate Apparel

Task : Develop an 'intimate apparel' collection motivated by a certain individual

Working within a group, we selected Frida Kahlo as our muse. With various elements to her personality, Frida was the perfect iconic figure to inspire our intimate apparel designs. We each individually came up with our own collections; encouraged by a certain aspect of Frida. My final collection was motivated by the traditional Mexican and romantic elements of Frida, and the familiar technique of crochet. Designing two looks for each category - Foundation, Lingerie, and Lounge wear - crochet was definitely carried throughout each area. The final girls developed for this collection are my 'contemporary Frida's' - using accessories of flowers, jewelery and wrapped 'bandages' to hint the chosen muse.
