Behind the scene (fashion)

 DETAILS AND CUTTINGS

if you look from the side of the garment, the sewn triangles will look three-dimensional.

SKETCH FROM THE MET

The armors that inspired me specifically is the Japanese armors for their repetitively precise sewing.

SURGICAL GOWN

A group of doctors and nurses wearing surgical gown passed me when I was on my way to class in a usual weekday morning. That got me thinking about the gown and the fashion project we were working on. I took the hospital gown which is worn by sick people and transformed the simple, nothing fancy, and almost boring dress into something that no longer look like a dress a sick person would wear by overloading geometric shapes.

"Do I look fine now?"

meaning even if you are not feeling well, the pattern would still cover up the sickness.

PAPER STUDIES

Before deciding what will go on the dress form, we were told to experiment with paper; folding, sewing, cutting,crumbling, or tearing. Cutting and sewing spoke to me most after experimenting for a while.
