Yesterday we went up to London primarily to see the Fashion Vs Sport exhibition at the V&A. The aim for us to realise the connection between Fashion and Sport.. "Sportswear has become an essential part of the modern wardrobe. Trainers and tracksuits are more readily worn than suits, and high performance textiles developed for competition are being integrated into high-end fashion. Fashion Vs Sport examines the way that sports styles are adapted to make fashion statements, both on the street and through high fashion, and how sports and fashion products are consumed, customised and worn."
I quite enjoyed the exhibition for the customisation and adaptations of sportswear into bright and exciting garments, like those featured in the 'Display' and 'Play' sections of the exihbition space. I took notes of some of the articles I liked and did some sketches of interesting shapes within the garments, so I'm able to look back on my research and draw inspiration when I come to my own design ideas.
I'm now really keen to get hold of the brief for this new project as I do like the idea of a sportswear project, because as I've found, the boundaries are so vague that you can do a lot of exciting things based around this topic!
