S2 art students have been undertaking some independent research on the lives and work of some interesting fashion designers. This forms part of their NAB for the Art and Design Studies unit of the art course as well as gives them ideas for their own work.
Today we began looking at the eccentric, avant garde, and very innovative designer from the 30's and 40's - Elsa Schiaparelli. She took a great deal of influence from Surrealist artists such as Dali and was a pioneer of new techniques and materials in her day.
S2 enjoyed their introduction to her work even if they thought it was a bit bizarre! Here are some of the examples we looked at:
