A- Reflective Surfaces
Inspirations A Instead of sharp reflection of mirror or gem, we are thinking about a more gentle and subtle reflection.

Sample Materials A
We found this amazing plastic film and started to experiment the surface. Also, this material is laser cuttable, so it gave us the opportunity to assemble the garment with module made with this.

As we have to submit a video to this competition, a garment that will change its look while model walks may have some advantage. We created this multi-layers construction that the color will turn more vivid when being squeezed. This construction will apply to a more puffy garment, so the change will look more dramatic.

The third concept is using the metal sheets to create the unfamiliar structure of the garment. When folded, it can have a different reflection and the appearance. Also, we are thinking the different forms of garments from the geometrical one to something more streamlined that present the hard material with a visually soft feeling.

Inspirations E Physalis alkekengi ( Japanese/ Chinese lantern plant) It is easily identifiable by the large, bright orange to red papery covering over its fruit. The papery cover is actually an inflated basal calyx. It blooms in the winter, dries in spring.

Sample Materials E Because we are not expert at sewing and tailoring, we are trying to use materials to create the structure of the garment such as resin. We’d like to make a mold and pour resin on it to create a shell that gives the garment a structural and curious shape.

Design of the Garment
Garments are more than just outlooks, but the extension of ourselves.

Design of the Garment
Plastic hollow shells present vein; the shells cling to the body and glow blue in the dark. Mesh presents capillary; the color of the mesh is fluid as blood.

Testing
First, we tried to mold the resin by pouring on arm, so we can get a shape that super clings to the human body. However, we found something good and bad about this material during the process. Bad: This kind of resin is too liquid to maintain its shape on the body. Also, it’s hard to control the form. Good: In the first few hours, the resin is soft enough to be molded, and it will harden.

Prototyping Processes- The Resin Part
1. Make a mold for resin. 2. Pour resin into the mold. 3. Demold before it hardens.

Prototyping Processes- The Fabric Part
1. Think about the pattern and dye the fabric. 2. Let it dry and dye multiple times to create a gradience. 3. Assemble with the resin part.
