The bust form I created for Levi’s was inspired by Frida’s flower headdresses and paintings with natural elements. For the neck block I designed a colorful collage of flowers that will be made out of silk or paper and wire so they can be flexible. For the body I was inspired by Frida’s large green leaves she painted in several of her paintings. I wanted to keep the body simple, so any of Levi’s denim or button ups will fit and not be distracted from. The leaves on the body can either be painted on the muslin, or could be handmade out of silk to add texture to the form. Lastly I created the base out of wood scraps. The wood symbolizes the simple, rustic, western feel I talked about earlier.
