ADES 3570: Computers in Fashion - Presentation
Rond De Jambe
The inspiration behind my collection was a combination of things. I wanted to capture the whimsical and fun side to dance as an art form. Visual elements include diamond/honeycomb smocking, traditional Russian dress, 1500s decoration, 1830s fashion featuring fan pleated sleeves, and the ballets the Nutcracker, Sleeping Beauty, Romeo and Juliet, Giselle, Swan Lake, Anastasia, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Additional inspiration was J. C. Leyendecker’s art featuring both the ballet and circus.
