This jacket I created to be a jacket like you would imagine I Dream of Jeannie era like
a 50's housewife whose throwing a party, this is her jacket. She's got a dress on underneath
or maybe this is just the dress. But there's the overall sense of propriety with the belled
flared skirt. There's the cinched waist creating elegance. There's the off the shoulder folded
down type lapel shoulder line and overall I do think it does call to mind modern mid
century modern type and that's where architecture plays in with all of my designs. I had a thought
of mid century modern so I took my diagonal design lines from mid century modern architecture
from modern design and added those in so it creates two different dimensions with which
I'm using the concepts of mid century modernism to convey my jacket that is belted and belled
and lady like and proper.
