Womens Swimwear Collection inspired by the 50\u27s and 60\u27s

Namen diplomskega dela je bil oblikovati žensko kolekcijo kopalk in modnih dodatkov v obliki plavalnih kapic. Kot glavna inspiracija je služilo obdobje 50. in 60. let prejšnjega stoletja, predvsem silhuete ženskih oblačil takratne mode in optični vzorci, ki izhajajo iz op art umetnosti iz 60.tih let. V teoretičnem delu sem raziskovala zgodovino mode, predvsem kopalno modo in družbene vplive na razvoj le-te. V preteklosti so kopalke pogosto služile kot indikator družbenih razmer v svetu, nakazovale tehnološki napredek v modi in bile pokazatelj položaja žensk po svetu. V diplomski nalogi sem predstavila ključne osebe in drzne oblikovalce, ki so igrali pomembno vlogo v razvoju kopalne mode. V praktičnem delu je predstavljena ženska kolekcija kopalk z modnimi dodatki v obliki plavalnih kapic. Poudarek kolekcije je na uporabi enostavnih grafičnih vzorcev in močnih kontrastov, ki lahko optično preoblikujejo žensko telo. Dodan je element volančkov, ki je na modne dodatke prenesen v bolj organski obliki. Kopalke so oblikovane za sodobno žensko s pridihom nostalgije preteklih časov.The purpose of this thesis was to create a women\u27s collection of bathing suits and fashion accessories in the form of swimming caps.
