concept

Demonstrating a synergistic approach between textile development and silhouette creation through innovative pattern cutting. The development of a linking technique through which fabric can be engineered and form through the repetition of a single unit, reflecting the collision of mathematical and natural phenomena that influence the work. Laser-cut pieces create fabric structures resembling moving biomorphic forms. This is an imaginary, geometric animal skin that changes colour with movement at the will of the wearer, enabling her to stand out or blend into surroundings as desired.
