Hacktivate: Application of Design
Design work:
Taking the inspiration from the rounded, child-like shapes, I wanted this collection to be wearable but still edgy, contemporary and fun. The season is autumn/ winter therefore my designs are able to be combined and layered up, not only to be practical in terms of warmth, but also to create multiple outfits with 16 key pieces. Innovative fabric choices, such as clear PVC- used on the sleeves of the pink coat and for the whole of the biker jacket- reveal the clothes underneath, giving the illusion of exposing mechanical inner workings. Loose knits and macrame suggest the tangle of wires within electronics and the colour scheme reflects those on childrens toys and retro electronics.
