Army Jacket: Fashion Research

After being given our military jackets to start experimenting with, I decided to research how the military jacket has been used in fashion.

I really love Balmain's embellished take on the military jacket because of how it has been changed from something that is seen as a practical utility garment into a luxury evening-wear jacket.

Louise Goldin A/W 2010

I find Louise Goldin's military themed knitted jackets really intriguing because of the way that the sport-like pockets and zips contrast with the sharp structured look.
