My issue was about body image. This one, I want to be a little bit more of an avant garde twist.
My concept is that our exterior is what protects us but its also something that gives us our weakness.
I wanted to make a headpiece that covers up your entire face so that people cannot see anything. so that they wont be judging anyone. but i also want to show the shoulder off because the shoulder is part of a body that doesnt age really....
So i looked up the history of armors
here are some facts:
-the modern day armor is the police vest, but unlike the past... its not all metal... but it includes fabric for comfort.
-tracing back... in the 1700's ish.. th. british military outfit is red because it shows that they have money. red is a color that is hard to find in nature. but thats what gave them their position when they fight. so thats how the military suit of today came to be.
armors started with humankind because we need protection and that started with animal skin. and later wood and metal were used.
with the archaic times like achilles ish... they had alot of shields, gloves, helmets and breastplates.
and when we say a medieval, we automatically think the whole face cover thing... thats what we call corinthian
