A fashion merchandising final project of mine – spring/summer 2012 trend analysis. captured the spirit of playful nature , blossoming gardens and whimsical ladies. Drawn information and inspiration from the three leading trend research companies; CBI , CIFF, and Nelly Rodi, I pieced each of their “matters” together. Then translated the idea into the new language of mine to tell you how fashion communicates those correlating things through my point of view. The sweetest project ever.
Inspired by the concept of utopia and idealism. the Parts of Phi (1.618, golden ratio), perfect triangles are entangled to create one ultimate unit, which could be distorted into various forms. Clear acrylic sheets were laser cut into four golden-ratio triangles which were pieced together within, sort of, an experimental method. I used the clear ones to state the purity and made it as a shoulder piece to inform the idea of ‘bliss’, a state of spiritual high, by heightened up the body. The adjustable folding piece itself also expand the idea of utopia world which might be different in each minds, but eternally universal at truth.
Dear Diary, I know I haven’t been disappeared for a while, feeling sorry for my absence.
But it’s time to make up now, there’re still so many things left unwritten.
First, this is my final project at the uni about creating surfaces in textile. (continued from the previous article : SKIN) 10 natural and architectural surfaces are chosen to be mocked up in papers and then transformed into textiles. The results are a collection consists of twenty looks that are designed based on the sense of style of 5 inch and up, miss Sandra Hagelstam, which I had chosen to be my muse for the collection.
Actually I’ve been her secret admirer for so long. you guys should check out her blog and would fall in love with those eyes for the raw yet stunning, cool street style that look effortless, the wanderer sense and free spirit in her lifestyle and belongings. Real natural beauty.
