‘In Pursuit of Perfection’ investigates today’s endless chasing of unreachable ideals. A societal model of perfection is reinforced on a daily basis, a by-product of social media. In turn, even subconsciously, our status anxiety increases. Historically contextualising perfectionism in culture, I have looked at the Neoclassical movement (1790s-1820s) in which a revival of classical Greek and Roman styles became prevalent in society and culture. Women’s fashion emulated living statues, exposing a near nakedness and vulnerability. Neoclassicism can be loosely defined by its focus on harmony, simplicity, proportion and symmetry. Similarly, to this, tailoring explores themes associating simplicity, proportion and symmetry in relation to the body.
