Styling Ideas- Androgynous.

After styling the first in 1960's style suits, which proved to look very sleek and retro, I started to look into women that wear suits and found a trend names 'Androgynous'. This seemed to be women that dress similar to men, wearing things that are typically designed as menswear, however I find that it works really well and I love the idea of using female models in our second shoot using this 'Androgynous' trend.

 

Many designers are still using this style for their women's wear collections, I find it gives a really empowering effect for women and using this in the context of our project could represent the change in women through the 1960's. They started to become more equal and the dress sense between men and women seem to become a blur, starting with the 'teddy boys' which influence 'teddy girls'.

Here's an image I found of Teddy Girls in the 1960's, they began to challenge their typical dress expectations and began to take influence from the underground society and began to explore their sexual freedom. I love the oversized blazers and casual shirts along with the straight cropped trousers.
