The flat, the shape & the form
The notion of creating flat compositions, abstracting the signs/ elements of denim archetypes. They become malleable and movable and are replaced, creating multiple intersections and interconnections.The flat, the shape & the form
I responded to this prototyping method that focuses on the materials' agency in the design process— by arranging textile manipulations and treatment prototypes/swatches in a series of compositions. This approach underscored the importance of materials in contemporary fashion design practice, suggesting a material-led process that challenged the traditional notion of materials as inert elements, instead viewing them as products or ready-made, requiring careful consideration in design. (Thornquist and Bigolin, 2017).
1 This design process was influenced in part by:
Everything and Everybody as Material: Beyond Fashion Design Methods, Workshop presented by Assoc. Prof. Ricarda Bigolin & Prof. Clemens Thornquist at the School of Fashion and Textiles, RMIT University in partnership with the Swedish School of Textiles, University of Boras and the exhibition High Risk Dressing/Critical Fashion at RMIT Design Hub, Feb 2017.
