"Aside from 007, Inspiration was also drawn from 1940’s underwear adverts, most notable with a black bandeau and high waisted tulip skirt which left a teasing gap of alabaster skin in-between."
This extract is taken from the link below. The blog is a positive and inspirational report onTempest's s/s10 catwalk show.
The spring/summer 10 collection is a combination of crazy horse,1940s underwear and bond girl inspired looks, it is mostly clear as to what the look is inspired by but also there is an element of his three inspiration in each design.
I would immediately say this beautiful gown is Bond Girl inspired, it is sexy and sophisticated, but on further inspection the print is naked dancing figures and also is representative of the use of lights and body paint on the dancers at Le crazy horse de Paris.
The dress resembles the structure and fit of 1940's underwear, however the cut away section of the skirt, revealing a little more leg and making the dress somewhat more promiscuous is something seen in almost every costume at the Crazy Horse. It is interesting that Tempest has used a plus size model to make the most of this dress.
