I chose this dress as I felt that it encompasses the many attributes of a fish.The over all mood of the collection is one of darkness, edginess and mystery.This could reflect the dark depths of the deep sea.
This particular dress consists of two main materials; sequins and raw silk. By using a metallic sliver sequin for the bottom its creates the image of a fishes sleek scales. Also by the part of dress that is made of sequins being wrapped around by the legs means that this ares moves a lot, thus meaning that the light reflects off of it and makes it look more like a moving fish.
The top bodice of the dress appears to be made of raw silk that has been structured.It appears to be quite rigid and strong. This part of the dress looks like the sharp angular fin of a fish due to the low empire line; as this creates two triangular shapes. The dark black contrasts well with the silver lower half which helps to emphasise the silver.
The last part of the dress is the flowing trail of silk. This part of the dress does not specifically resemble a fish but more so the movement of it and the movement of water. By using this means that the contrast between the structured bodice is heightened.
There are no accessories except for strong militant boots. These boots are very tough and hard which express durability. The model has very little to no make up on. This makes us think of nature which again creates the link to fish.
