[ A ]DRESSING THE BODY (2012)
Major Design Project. Drawing inspiration directly from the physical nature of the body landscape, such as the magnified patterning of our own skin and folds on the body, the idea of questioning “Does the skin stop at the surface?” led to the transformation and reevaluation of the concept of our second skin, being clothing. Top piece. Machine and hand sewn silk fabric, copper wire inserts, whipped end finish.
