Today, our team was introduced to the project: 'Managing individual contribution in the context of working in a collaborative creative team (Scenography/Art Direction)'.
In the morning, we had a meeting with the task leaders about the project where we had explained to us the brief as well as the itinerary of the week. The brief is to, as a team, 'create a sceneset in Battersea, South London in November 1963 in a one-bedroomed flat near the power station'; there will be four characters: a woman aged 25, a man aged 28, a boy aged 5 and a girl aged 3. After the brief was explained, we were assigned individual areas of the set to research; I am to handle the fashion and textiles of the set.
After the meeting I began my research, visiting websites of the two museums I will be seeing tomorrow: the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Fashion + Textile Museum. After seeing what exhibitions and displays were on offer (as well as finding out directions to and from my locations) I began my research into 1960's fashion. To begin with, I simply googled images of '1960's British Fashion' leading onto visiting vintage clothes websites such as http://www.rokit.co.uk/ and http://www.beyondretro.com/ for inspiration. Finally, I looked at costume designs from early 1960's based film and TV such as 'The Boat That Rocked', 'Mrs Biggs' and 'Alfie' as they are all based in Britain. Below are examples of some images I found:
