Research - Tarot Card as Design Concept
A tarot card is a deck of cards that contains 78 cards with pictures and the meaning of each card. The tarot card has 22 Major Arcana cards that depict karmic and spiritual, and 56 Minor Arcana cards that function to reflect on ourselves and what we have experienced. So, I chose this concept for my designs because I want to make something that strongly symbolises feminine energy and power or emits queen energy. I picked 'The Empress', one of the the Major Arcana cards. The Empress card suits what I am trying to say or what I aim for in my designs.
In tarot cards, 'The Empress' is symbolised as 'a powerful association with femininity' (HowStuffWorks, 2023). I want to make the design for my final project to show the feminine and empowerment side of women when they wear one of my designs. Taking inspiration from 'The Empress' has symbolic feminine energy and a visual aesthetic that I can blend with elegance and earthiness. Also, the dress offers a wearable manifestation of their inner Empress. Every decoration on the dress invites the person to enter an elegant and empowering story.
Overall, the design concept I am going to make is inspired by 'The Empress', one of the Major Arcana of tarot cards. 'The Empress' shows femininity and power; in my design, I want to show the feminine and how women have power. Moreover, the dresses will be envisioned as a wearable manifestation of the inner beauty of the Empress.
