Alex Perry gets a lot of his inspiration from old films. With Alex always working with new and creative fabrics, he always comes up with new designs or re-creates a design to form a new one. Most of Alex Perry’s fashion is formed from what is in fashion now, what people are interested in wearing and buying at this point in time. He has also been inspired by magazines, and other designer’s works, what the fashion is today and what his target market’s taste in fashion is.
This is a very elegant looking gown. It consists of mainly different shades of purples. The bodice of the gown consists of a layer of tightly attached silk, covered in jewels and rhinestones. The top of the bodice has a bow shaped pattern attached. This draws your eyes to the top of the bodice. By having the bow on the top of the bodice the same material as the bottom of the gown, it shows how the designer has reused used materials in an effective way. The bottom of the gown is made of a purple shade of silk. Alex Perry has designed the bottom of this dress so that the layers are given with a multiple layering effect; make the gown look ‘fuller’.
