Dress and Jewellery

"In the 1980s Ted Polhemus suggested traditional societies have always known what westerners were beginning to rediscover the clothing culture"

This paper focuses on dresses and contemporary jewellery and explains how the dress and jewellery link together. It also talks about things that associate with them. In jewellery, it talks about accessories and in the dress, it talks about how fabric and fashion work together. Dress and jewellery collaborate together because when a fashion designer, decided to design a dress she makes sure that, the outfit that she made it has some jewellery option.

The way we dress, it can identify our personality. Accessories can change the garment look more stunning. Looking into fashion, every culture has its own traditional style. Indians wear saris and a lot of gold jewellery. Zulu and Xhosa they wear their traditional attire and decorate their body with colourful beads. Muslim wear a long dress and headscarf to cover their head and hair.

 As was looking in dress and jewellery, I noticed that many artists like Arline Fisch were using fiber techniques to precious and non-precious material. In 1960, Arline Fisch was exploring knitting, weaving and crocheting by using metal wire.  As was looking at garments, I noticed that the fashion designer showcase their garment by using models. It some apply to the jewellery design, looking at Arline Fisch jewellery it bracelet and glove. She used textile techniques to allow lightness of structure, the jewellery is made from silver and coated copper which introduces an element of colour.


In figure 1, it a bracelet and glove it is my favourite jewellery because it looks like a glove with nails.
