La Dolce Vita

"La Dolce Vita (Italian for "the sweet life" or "the good life"^[1]) is a 1960 film by the critically acclaimed director Federico Fellini. The film is a story of a passive journalist's week in Rome, and his search for both happiness and love that will never come. Generally cited as the film that marks the transition between Fellini's earlier neo-realist films and his later art films, it is widely considered one of the great achievements in world cinema."

I watched La Dolce Vita for research into my new project. My theme and what i intende to develop my collection around is roman mythology, patricularly the affair between venus god of love and mars god of war. I want it to be a contridiction of feminine and masculine and be womanly and sexy. After speaking to Alison in order to add more to my research and influence my project she told me to look into renaissance art and to watch La Dolce Vita.

I really enjoyed the film and it was the scene in the pictures above that was most helpful. I feel it summed up what im trying to convey, it is the Trevi Fountain in rome where the actress jumps in fully clothed. She is overtly sexy but fun feminine attractive and lustful. She represents the female i imagine to wear my clothes! I need to develop my design work now to channel this and make use of this influence.
