EXPLORING GYPSY THEME

From looking at the tapestry's I feel I need to explore Gypsy culture further, looking at Traditional Romany Gypsy's in particular. I Looked at the clothing of the Gypsy ladies and found that it was very layered and draped and alot of the clothing was paisley patterned.

The clothing is all very over sized and exaggerated drapes. The menswear being very similar. looking closer at the clothing I like the paisley print - alike the kind of tapestry designson the clothing.

Designs by Michael Miller inspired by gypsy paisley, bright designs.

In the past Kenzo have also designed inspired by Gypsy/traveller lifestyle. our group needs to find a way of making our theme fresh and new - something Kenzo haven't done or seen before.
