Part 1
For part one, I chose these two boots because the design and material were so different. In the past, the boots has round shape, pop color, and puffy fabric. Today’s boots has sharp shape, brown color, and heel. The style and materials of two moon boots were very different. However, those two boots had indivisual styles. Since the early 70s, the Moon Boot represents the symbol of irony, fashion, and design.

Designer: Vivienne Westwood
Name of Item: MacAndreas tartan mini kilt with sporran and safety pin mouth piece

Season/Year: F/W 1993/94 (reproduced 2017)
When I first saw this item, it catched my eyes right away because the design was very impressive. I noticed that the skirt is very sexy and cute at the same time. It worn by Scottish Highland men, and after it became anostalgic sysmbol for Scottish nationals in diaspora. It is common element of girl’s private school uniform. If I imagine my self wearing this skirt, I would feel great because I really like the design of it. I also would feel like to ride a motocycle becasue I think the outfit goes well with motocycle. This skirt was designed for Scottish men. If I could wear this now, I want to wear it with black crop top and high heel. I would feel like I become Harlequin in the movie. I think this skirt is designed for beauty because this kind of cloth is not functional or formal. The designer used wool, cotton, leather, horsehair, pewter, and steel. The materials look so good, when they are all together. If I would redesign this, I would like to make it longer, so it could have two different feelings in one design. I never thought about metal became transparent, so I imagined the metal parts became transparent. The uses of material will make huge difference of design.
Beginning in the late seventeenth century, pleats were sown into the back the skirt, loops were added for ease of belting, and the top length formed an autonomous garment. For Highland clans , the kilt symbolized familial, military and geographic loyalties

Most of the time, women wear high heels when they need to be formal or wheh they are working and dating. If I could redesign this, I would like to make flat shoes, so women can wear it daily.
