RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The research has a contemporary and historical inspiration gained through books, internet and exhibitions in order to achieve an work of art in form of a garment spotting light on keeping the focus. I experimented a lot with shape and volume to support the idea through the silhouette as well as through the colour. After creating the concept and the design the garments were sewn several times in fabric heavy cotton. Patterns & Draping as well as continuous fittings on models contributed to the appearance. Published internationally in diverse media.
CHALLENGE: 1.Widely the sewing part as there was a deadline where the collection had to be finished. More than 85% is handstitched, heavy and worked with extremely delicate fabrics. Finding a company that works precisely with laser-cuts on the given material ( mirror headpieces ) Making by me.
