Expansion of research

To break up the design pages so that my book doesn't become repetitive, I thought that this would be a good time to introduce some new research to benefit my outcome. A subject that I haven't looked at yet is the bone structure and how each individual bone is attached together, making up your skeleton.
There is so much that you can do with bones in fashion, the contours and shape provides garments with interesting silhouettes. They could be used to exaggerate the initial structure of the body and morph it into a distorted abstract outlook.
I am going to not only look at the human bone structure but also other living things such as scorpions, butterflies and beetles that have a more intricate and different structure. These three insects that I have listed have an outer bone shell called an exoskeleton. This is seen in the fashion industry regularly by designers such as Iris Van Herpen and Alexander McQueen.


You can also see this being used in the media by celebrities, the most famous being Lady Gaga. She is renowned for her abstract and pioneering fashion sense and in her Monster Ball tour she featured a head and arm piece created by Gary Card.
