This was a short 4 week brief in which I created a conceptual collection of experimental and innovative fashion fabrics to be used in a high fashion context. I begin by taking a lot of photography of lichen, moss and fungi- I really wanted my samples to look like they were alive. I took inspiration from high fashion designers, Mia Bergman, Yvonne Kwok and Junko Shimada, creating a lot of textural pieces utilising unusual materials such as sand paper, plastic straws, plastic bags, rubber gloves and staples. I also worked on the idea of manipulated and interactive fabrics; one of my final samples was a really interesting interactive piece that you could mould and bend to create different folds and shapes.
