Formalwear Research Film

There are two areas that are of real interest to me for my Graduate Collection. I'm aiming for a fusion of English Black Tie Formalwear and 50s American Baseball. I hope that the fusion of the two styles will bring something sharp and new to the catwalk.
In terms of trend prediciton, I am highly aware of forthcoming trend concepts, however I think I'm going to trust my insincts with the overall outline of the look and roll with what I think.
I know that the idea of fusing denim with formalwear has already been considered (ie by Evisu- opening introducing bespoke, tailored denimwear in their newly developed Saville Row shop), so I think that my idea with add a new twist to the concept.
I've prepared a short film of formalwear research towards my Collection. This covers the Formalwear side of things, I'll add a film to cover the sportswear side of things at a later date.
Included is classic English tailoring(images Copyright of Hackett), trend concepts (images and notes Copyright of Textile View) and directional illustrations (images Supplied by, and copyright of WGSN):



The soundtrack is "Paint it Black" by The Rolling Stones (lovely!)

Just a reminder again that none of the images, information or film should be reproduced.
Many thanks

I've also been working on customising the template/background a little more and making it more relevant to my work.
Watch this space then- and fingers crossed it'll work!
