BOUND
CONCEPT
THE FUNCTION OF CLOTHING IS TO COVER, PROTECT AND WARM THE BODY…BUT WHAT IF YOU THOUGHT ABOUT IT AS AN OBJECT THAT BOUNDS THE BODY AND RESTRICTS MOVEMENT? EERIE ISN’T IT?
I EXPLORED THIS IDEA BY DESIGNING WEARABLE PIECES INSPIRED BY A STRAITJACKET.
FABRIC + COLOR
I PLAYED WITH TEXTURE BY MIXING STRUCTURED AND DRAPEY MATERIALS, AND ELEVATED THE DESIGN BY INCORPORATING STRIPED PATTERNS.
LINE UP
I DESIGNED FOUR LOOKS THAT EMBODY THE ESSENCE OF CONFINEMENT IN A BEAUTIFUL COLLECTION.
RESEARCH + DESIGN PROCESS
FINAL PRODUCT
VERSATILE JUMPSUIT
MULTI-FUNCTIONAL SLEEVES - ARMS CAN BE EXPOSED THROUGH A SIDE SLIT FOR EASY MOVEMENT. THE SLEEVES CAN BE WRAPPED AROUND THE BODY OR DRAPED DOWN AT THE SIDE.
LONG SLEEVE JACKET
THE JACKET FEATURES A DOUBLE FRONT CLOSURE AND BUCKLING DETAILS AT THE SIDE RESEMBLING A STRAITJACKET.
