Charlotte Matless
BA (Hons) Fashion
I am a womenswear designer focusing on exploration of the female form.
With my final major project, ‘A SINNER’S ADVOCATE’, I have been exploring with contrasting themes of Fetish fashion and the 2001 romantic drama, Moulin Rouge.
Through research and heavy exploration, I identified that both themes have huge similarities that benefited throughout my concept. Both including a seductive, alluring tone.
I created a story, where the wearer of my garments is a seductive female dominatrix, alluring her audience through the powerful strides she takes.
Throughout this project, I have been focusing on fabrics, trims and detailing to further highlight my concept and my approach within my target market.
Exploring with chains, beading and colour has really helped enhance my conceptual evidence with fetish fashion, which links into the costume and set design of Moulin Rouge.
