Abstract:
For my project, I took on the alias of a 21-year-old woman in Italy during the 1920s. Her name is Elenore and she has a passion for fashion. She writes diary entries explaining her day and the outfits she wants to create. The time span is about a month during the holidays. She is very detail-oriented and wants her work to be seen by everyone. I attached a Pinterest board with Elenore's daily life and inspiration to give my project visuals. Elenore is moody, independent, and is thriving with the new freedom to start wearing what she wants and express herself through her style.
