I have discovered a few new inspiring designers and collaborations over the summer from browsing on other blogs and through the fashion websites but they have been mostly in womenswear. I tried to find some menswear designers that reflected where I wanted to go with my concepts but there wasn't much I could find apart from Chanel's fur jumpsuits.
I think some aspects of this could work on a smaller scale maybe with different textures and lengths of the piles. I think its a bit over the top and its not
quite cold enough in Britain for anything like this!
I do like the different colours of fur though especially the greys.

Joanna Hynes and Helen Steele

The next inspirtation I found was Joanna Hynes and Helen Steele. I love this collaboration and will talk about Hynes and Steele in a seperate post but in this garment I love the colour and textures. It just screams out British Regency, its like a cross between a fox hunt and a glamorous dinner party!

Maison Martin Margiela

This modern twist on a classic is very clever by the genius of Martin Margiela. Im not sure if I like it or not I think. I really like the jacket and I think it would be more effective if it was just the jacket with some different garments. It's just a bit too much grey for one image the way it is here!
Well what can I say about this! This is amazing and it rounds up most of my research from the summer. I love the way the light reflects off the scales and the contrast there is between the smooth scales and the rough fur. It makes you want to go and touch it. I love it as its so unusual and you would get second looks walking down the street in this but this isn't always a bad thing! I would love this jacket for the winter it would be such a statement and I can imagine it's one of those garments that everyone would be jealous off.
