This piece is inspired by two eras: the 1960s and the 1790s. Both were marked by revolution and extreme social change that is seen plainly in their clothing, which inspired their marriage in this piece. I used the restrictive articles of clothing in the rococo era (ie: stays, garters, chokers) and transformed them into the 1960s way of freedom and social opposition via the flower power movement, linking the two radically different, yet surprisingly simpler, eras together.
