2. Clothing as Cultural History
In the 1920 the women who wore headbands were called Flappers, and they used to wear them to keep their hair out of their eyes while dancing. These headbands where usually decorated with embroidery, beads, or a feather.

3. Art: Gustav Klimt
Klimt’s Frieze was my inspiration especially The Three Gorgons
I used the Golden Snakes on their heads, It is an element that reminds me of Klimt’s Frieze

4. Design: Art Nouveau - Mucha
I chose Art Nouveau but Mucha’s Dance was the one who inspired me mostly
From his design I found a small detail that I used for my Headpiece

5. Film: The Great Gatsby
The Great Gatsby has a nice variety of female clothing in it, and for me the headbands they wear in the film are very beautiful
I wanted to use the material and style from this particular headpiece and recreate a design from it

6. Adding it up Through sketching | started developing my ideas
I started with a mash-up of all the three elements that I liked from the research
Then I came out with a design for my Crown Headpiece

7. My Design for Today’s Fashion
Looking up the latest trends I have found that crowns are being used by Dolce and Gabbana for this years hair fashion, so my crown can be actually in style with this years fashion trends, and could be worn as a piece of jewellery in a catwalk.
