80s Centennial
With the combination of the 1880s tobogganing coat and Norma Kamali I am going to focus on the century difference between sportswear and athleisure. Kamali works with the idea of athleisure in the 80s with large shapes and jersey fabrics, whereas the tobogganing coat is made from a stiff wool and tailoring aspect. The mixture of old and new athleisure and the tailoring will be the main concept of the look. Playing on the idea of my hometown being the birthplace of bobsledding, and the new skin suit that are used in modern day bobsledding, I want to combine that with the large shapes and silhouettes of the body. Making the look flexible but as well as streamline. I want the look to portray elegance, sport, and classic style.
