Inspiration for the collection
"My Crystallization collection is about the transformation from water into crystals. It started with a collaboration with Benthem Crouwel Architekten . They designed a museum that looks like a massive bathtub and asked me to design a dress that is inspired by that museum. I decided to design what was missing: the water inside the bath; a dress that is like a warm bath around you, splashed around the body. While working on the water-dress, I got fascinated by the secrets and invisibility of water. It is the opposite of structure and chaos within water that I translated in this collection."

WHO IS SHE?

 her design aesthetics are

Feminine, Sculptural, Conceptual and Artistic.

 she consider fashion to be
"Art that has breath." "Art That has breath."

she is currently living in Milan Italy.

i feel some aspects of her collection are similar to mine in terms of the final collection pieces

though i feel mine is less delicate and more en forceful because the pleats.

KEY TIP IS THAT YOUR PORTFOLIO IS A FUNDAMENTAL PIECE THAT SHOWS EXPRESSION OF YOUR CREATIVITY.. THE SHOW IS JUST A GLIMPSE INTO YOUR VISION.... ANOTHER CONSIDERATION IS THAT YOU MUST KNOW WHO YOUR CUSTOMER IS BECAUSE IN THE END YOU MUST SELL THAT GARMENT

PROGRESS SO FAR TOILES

SO HERE IS A QUICK RECAP ON WHAT AM DOING....  THE CONCEPT IS CONFINEMENT AND AM TRYING TO PORTRAY THIS MOOD IN AN INNOVATIVE WAY THAT IS NOT EXPECTED... WELL THAT'S WHAT I WAS AIMING FOR. INITIALLY I LOOKING WAS IMAGES THAT REPRESENT THIS MOOD, THEN I STUMBLED ON A STATUE BY Umberto Boccioni  "Unique Forms of Continuity in Space"...  THIS IS A FUTURISTIC PIECE.. THE ARTIST WITHIN THAT PERIOD WHERE RESENTIFUL OF ALL THAT WAS TRADITIONAL AND WHERE MORE EXITED BY SPEED AND TECHNOLOGY... ON THIS IDEA I WAS ABLE TO RELATE TO THE STATUE THROUGH OBSERVATION, IN THAT THE STATUE IS MADE OF A MATERIAL THAT HEAVY N VERY STABLE WHERE AS THE WAY ITS CONSTRUCTED SHOWS MOVEMENT...  THIS TO ME EVOKES IDEAS OF FRUSTRATION  >>> WANTING TO MOVE BUT BEING UNABLE TO THUS BEING CONFINED. SO WITH THIS IN MIND I THOUGHT WHAT WAY CAN

I EXPRESS THIS IN A NEW WAY SOMETHING THAT PURPOSELY GOES AGAINST TRADITION... THIS WAS REVEALED IN FABRICATION... MY CHOICE WAS ORGANZA. WE KNOW ORGANZA TO BE DELICATE , FLUID, I TOOK THAT IDEA AND TWISTED IT BY APPLYING INTERFACING TO IT THUS MAKING IT RIGID>>> TO FURTHER EXPLORE THE IDEA OF STRUCTURE I THEN PLEATED AND PIN TACKED THE ORGANZA(OMG THE LONG THING EVER IS HAND PLEAT I SPEND MOST OF MY DAY PLEATING AND PIN TUCKING..
 MY NEW NAME IS MRS PLEATS LOLOL)..


THIS COMPLETELY CHANGED THE LOOK, AM NOT SURE WHETHER I WANT TO SEE THE ORGANZA COME THROUGH, WILL SEE AS I PROGRESS.  I ASWELL AS THIS I THOUGHT WHY NOT TRY EXPRESS THE EMOTIONAL ASPECT WHICH WILL BE ILLUSTRATED THROUGH DIGITAL PRINT AND MAYBE TIE DYING THE ORGANGA

OTHER ELEMENTS SUCH AS PLEATING I WILL BE LOOKING AT THE MAIN MAN HIMSELF MR ISSEY MIYAKE >>>MR PLEAT LOL  AND MANY OTHERS THAT WILL BE DISCUSSED FURTHER ON


ANYWAY I FEEL I HAVE WROTE TOO MUCH HERE ARE SOME PICS TO SHOW WHAT AM SAYING >>>>>

 Sculpture derived from Unique forms of continuity in space (Forme uniche della continuita nello spazio) (1913)
