The Modern Wedding Dress

A NAVNEET VIRK ORIGINAL.

Textiles A2 coursework project 2012

Theme : Modern woman wedding, inspired by Alexander McQueen controversial designs.

“The concept of my dress is to cause controversy. Normally when designers are coming up with ideas they base it around a subject or opinions which they feel strongly about and they reflect this in their work. I decided to take this method on in the process of designing my garment.

My garment was based around marriage which is taken place in a church before God. I researched into why the dress was white, the results showed that the dress had symbolised purity and innocence of the bride. The white is portraying a virgin bride. It is meant to represent that the bride has never had sex before the wedding day or with anyone else, showing purity. But as I am designing a dress for modern women, society has changed from that tradition and now most women have already had sexual relations before their wedding. 

I felt strongly about this as representing yourself in front of the church imitating a virgin which they are not therefore lying to God.  I wanted to communicate this in my design which resulted in the use of colour in my dress. I dip dyed the edges of the skirt because this method is in trend which is what the modern woman is look for. The red represents the bleeding which is caused when virginity is loss, it also represent sin as red is the colour of sin. 

I used this colour scheme in my bridal collection and dip dyed the feathers of the garter and the bridesmaids dress. In the industry designers would also use a reoccurring theme in their collections.”
