The Evening Jacket designed by Elsa Schiaparelli in 1938 is an elegant evening suit that incorporates armor elements. The \u201cBroken Mirrors\u201d Ensemble from Yves Saint Laurent in 1978 further explores the armor elements by its exaggeration of the wavy mirror pattern. This inspired me to research the topic of how armor elements were incorporated in women’s wear in the 1900s. This paper illustrates my creative decision throughout the iteration process for Studio Bridge 4 with a detailed explanation of how armor elements expanded the personal values and characters of women. My research also conveys how designers could use visual languages to spread their perception to the society, and point out the unequalized and unjustified social beliefs. My design of the ensemble pieces continues this line of thinking through its reconstruction of the original pairing, with my understanding of the body armor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":13106,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[41,107],"class_list":["post-13104","student-work","type-student-work","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-integrative-studio-seminar-2","tag-fashion","tag-first-year-online"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nXinwei (Clara) Zhang - Parsons Notes<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/student-work\/xinwei-clara-zhang\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Xinwei (Clara) Zhang - Parsons Notes\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Evening Jacket designed by Elsa Schiaparelli in 1938 is an elegant evening suit that incorporates armor elements.
