Varvara Stepanova:
Varvara Stepanova's textile design (see the blue suit) is very attention-grabbing with its repetitive blue and blank triangular shapes and similarly angled lines. These angles and juxtapositions help to guide the eye from the collar around the suit, not only orienting the viewer but becoming more memorable in their rhythms.
As Stepanova was practicing art during a time in which Constructivism and a steep decline in Russian traditions considered too elite or wasteful to be available to the common man, Stepanova would have begun with functionality and accessibility closely in mind. Her audience would have been the common citizen, her goals to produce something tasteful while being financially possible, and while she may not have had a time limit to design under, tailors who might reproduce her work might, so the design would have to be simple on top of everything else.
