I began this project by looking into the colour blue and how it was used within uniforms in the armed forces and came across the fact that the idea of school uniforms came out of military and navy schools. The colour blue was often the choice of colour as it was a cheap and easy colour to create. I then looked at many different historical school uniforms like Christchurch, Eton and Oxford,I decided to focus on the features, details and shapes as well as the idea of uniforms being disproportionate and ill-fitting. We have decided to create the second look in the lineup but with a few alterations to lengths to make items look shrunken and more awkward.
