Concept/Research

This re-imagining takes place in the 1960s. On the court side we have the contemporary Mod fashion style with the harsh, bright colors that go with it. On the forest side we have earthy tones, patterns, and loose fabrics as they relax in the fashion of the counter-culture movement.
