I have decided on a nautical inspired autumn/ winter look for my race wear design. I chose an autumn/ winter carnival look because it’s most appropriate when designing an outfit from wool.
I chose a nautical look because it has a classic and timeless appeal. Moving the style into a sophisticated direction broadens the allure of the nautical trend, working for youth as well as a more mature market which is what race wear is about.
The nautical trend is a trans-seasonal and extremely wearable look. It's one of those rare trends that transcends ages and markets, looking great when dressed up into a classic race wear look. It has been prevalent in a lot of recent runway shows for both Spring/ Summer and Autumn/ Winter, and I want to take this trend and create my own designs.
