5. Idea for the theme - Bondage I left the Museum of Sex a little bit disappointed. The collection was lacking many important in my opinion things and one of them was Bondage

6. Seminar research topic I couldn’t find articles strictly about bondage in school database, but there were many results about “Fifty Shades of Grey”. (not connected to fashion) http://www.esquire.com/entertainment/movies/a33181/fifty-shades-of-grey-stunts- explainer/

7. Seminar research topic To find a topic that relates to Studio, I decided to look again at my map project and figure out options that I have.

9. Seminar research topic One of the main categories in my map project is sexuality and many inspirational images I found while doing research online was from Balmain. Balmain autumn/winter 2015 paris (WGSN) Balmain Spring/Summer 2015 (WGSN)

10. "I think sex is really important because there is a lot to play with when you have sex on your mind. It's something that has no limit and no boundaries” Erica Adams, “Let’s Talk About Sex: Balmain’s Olivier Rousteing Does Just That,” Racked, (September 4, 2014)

11. Olivier Rousteing says that there is a lot to play when you have sex on your mind, and I think my designs are pretty playful. Shirt is long in the front, short in the back, has deep v neck, large armholes. Pants have very low crotch, but still exposes sexuality, because they are low waisted. I think my designs are creative and break the boundaries between men and women fashion.

12. “Tailoring is important, but I don’t want to forget that it is a French luxury house […] It’s getting more chic, defined and sophisticated, while keeping the sexiness and glamour. “ Divia Harilela, “Balmain's Olivier Rousteing is his own man”, South China Morning Post, (26 October, 2012) This quotation was an inspiration for me to make a shirt. Precisely tailored, but also sophisticated, and with sexiness. I’m not a huge fan of French luxury fashion houses, so I decided to lead my designs towards eastern culture.

13. The connection between seminar and studio project is visible on each step of making them. Research for studio inspired the idea for the theme, and problems in finding sources for research paper made me go back to the map project for studio. Then resources I used for the paper inspired my designs. Until I started to make this presentation I did not realize how connection between classes was helpful in the process of creating.
