One Word Project

So here comes a new Fashion Project! Basically we was given a bag full of random words, and we was to pick one at random, it was quite exciting and nerve racking because the word that we got, would be our starting point. I quite liked the idea of not being able to choose the word because in industry you're not going to be able to choose the task.
So my word was:
Grape
And it seems frightening, and at first I was daunted by the idea and a bit confused. But It doesn't have to be the obvious. So Grapes? There made into wine, and then i can talk about the periods that drink  wine, and who drinks wine? What countries make wine. I thought I could then bring it back to the UK and talk about Tudor periods and what wine symbolised, and then as well as menswear because I wanted to link wine to that. So i've looked at Saville Row, Tailors, Male designers. And throughout my
research I have only included males. So for artists I Had males, Designers I had males, historical context was based upon males, Just so then when I come to making a garment it links. I've decided to create a Blazer for a Male. But almost quiet a wealthy look. A look that wants to make other men jealous and envious.  I will learn how to measure body shapes and the blazer will be made from a pattern.
I've put some pictures up underneath to just give you some idea's on what I have been looking at and my idea's.
