A NIGHT TO REMEMBER
This project was inspired by 1970s men’s prom attire, complete with the ostentatious ruffles, the colors, and the high-contrast trims. These two looks aspire to look for a new way for men’s formal wear to exist. The first look aims to abstract the classic ruffle shirt with contrast trim, enlarging the proportion of the ruffle to make it part of the construction of the suit and dress itself. The second look is a more traditional suit, using instead repetition of the ruffles to cover the entire blazer.
