Feminot
The forever framework I embraced for my perpetual shirt delves into a profound exploration of the societal contradictions placed upon women on a daily basis. Women find themselves subject to continuous directives on what to wear and how to comport themselves. These directives, often rooted in the necessity to conform to a "man's world," prompted me to reframe these expectations as a form of armor for the contemporary working woman.
In challenging the norm, I sought to subvert the judgmental gazes by transforming their expectations into a daily wardrobe for the empowered woman. The shirt I envisioned aims to embody both modesty and sensuality simultaneously, presenting a deliberate paradox that confounds the viewer and challenges prevailing notions of the modern woman. By strategically incorporating contradiction as a design element, I aim to strip society of the option to comment on a woman's clothing choices, as any criticism would inherently contradict itself. This approach serves as a powerful statement, compelling a reconsideration of societal expectations and fostering a discourse on individual freedom and expression through design.
7anan
7anan is a multiple lives generational jacket that was created to avoid a linear economy outcome. The jacket gets passed down a generation of mothers and daughters with slight changes made by the designers to make It a little more personal to each daughter but still holding the original design to preserve the authenticity and the presence of the mother in the jacket. It was designed to really highlight that everlasting bond between a mother and a daughter through fashion. 3D design was integrated to show off the aspect of the jacket disintegrating with every pass and to show off its many capabilities like embroidery on fabric. 7anan also creates a solution for garments wastage by creating a circular cycle so the garment does not get totally disposed of but reworked to outlast time and trends.
Digital Craftmanship (TROUSERS)
Inspired by James Bridle's New Aesthetic theory blending technology and art, I created trousers as a form of rebellion against ubiquitous surveillance. Drawing on pixelation concepts, I translated it into a three-dimensional form using origami principles on textiles. The garment features adversarial imagery, disrupting machine learning algorithms. The trousers, resembling wearable cryptography, aim to defy surveillance by rendering the wearer inscrutable to prying machines. This fashion project signifies resistance against constant surveillance, emphasizing autonomy, privacy, and individuality in an increasingly digitized world. The pixelated trousers stand as a visual declaration against machines that observe without truly understanding human essence.
