Alexander Mc Queen: This dress is an inspiration to me. This is because it contains multi-tone Samurai print, which relates to my idea of using a printing technique on my garment. The dress has several shapes which I have noticed acsend in size. my thoughts on this are that when the garment is wornm, the smaller shape at the top will make the top part of the body look smaller which will give an impression of a curvy body.
The colours used are multi-tone gold, red and blue. The gold is used to emphasise the importance of a Samurai, as well as wealth. It can be suggested that the artist used gold to bring back the classic style of the 19th century. After reflecting on this, I realised that red is used to give a much vivid appearance to the dress making it more appealing.
The round neck creates a classic and feminine look for the dress. The capped sleeves are shaped upwards, perhaps to give a much wider shoulder: again helping the body look much curvier.

Military Camouflage
Military camouflage became an essential part of modern military tactics after the increase in accuracy and rate of fire of weapons during the 19th century. Until the 19th century armies tended to use bright colors and bold, impressive designs. These were considered to daunt the enemy, foster unit cohesion, allow easier identification of units in the fog of war, and attract recruits.
