Introduction

My initial thoughts and feelings about our first project 'The New Elizabethan' was general excitement in learning history from another era and how they developed and found their skills furthermore what influenced their fashion trends and why. Also how theses are seen even today society when anything really goes within fashion. When i first thought how to contemporise the Elizabethans i remembered back to reading my ELLE 'Collections autumn/ winter' in the summer and remembered the Dolce & Gabbana show this instantly reminded me of the Elizabethan portraits, the thick heavy embellishments and rich textures and colors, this regal look  showing the popularity of a historical style within high fashion in 2013. I am exited to learn and develop my skills in contemporary and historical techniques to help me create a look and style influenced and capturing the Elizabethan era using my background reading and research to aid me in developing my own take and a modern version, which has not yet been visualized using already existing inspirations of for example Dolce & Gabbana's ways of con-temporizing a past historical style all as knowledge for me to create and hair, makeup and styling look which is a new and exiting take on a style created over 300 years ago.
