Mount Edgecumb is a manor house that is owned by Cornwall council and Plymouth City council. It was built in the 1500's which I feel is a important key area to know for producing fashion images.
The 1500's was the Tudor and Elizabethan period. I've researched into types of patterns/textures in that period and also what style of clothing it would have been around that time. I want to create some really eccentric and visually bold images. I am hopeful to do this by using extreme hair styles and prominent costume. I am aware that in the Tudor period, lingerie was not something that was considered an importance and that the general underwear was far from arousing or provocative.
I then researched into stylists take on Tudor and Elizabethan lingerie in this day and age and found that their influences come from the textures and patterns Tudors wore. These stylists produce lingerie called, 'architectural lingerie.' Which looked like this, see below:
I want my images to capture this 1500's feel which will fit the style of the manor house combined with the lingerie to create a highly fashion image. To create more emphasis on this era, I am going to include a ruff on my model, as I think the structure of this particular lingerie mixed with the ruff will add height and consistency in my images.
