All Walks beyond the Catwalk – Diversity Now -
Customer Profile
Love the skin you’re in. Diversity should be celebrated. As a creative individual, it is essential to broaden one’s horizon and look at the fashion industry with a different perspective and I aspire to translate the acceptance of diversity through my S/S16 sportswear inspired collection. Skin is an outer layer of all humankind and embracing all skin types is diverse. Vitiligo is a diverse skin type, with light shades of patches on the skin. It creates fascinating and beautiful patterns on the body. I aim to convey the influenced by the patches of vitiligo skin through the medium of fabrication. Following a neutral colour palette consisting of white, black, sky grey and pale blue, I will experiment with prints to create a ‘splashed like effect’ while aiming to achieve the various shades of colour inspired by vitiligo. As the collection is aimed at all walks of life, (gender, age, and race) consequently, the silhouette of this collection will be oversized to fit each individual regardless of your body type or height. Neoprene and scuba will act as base fabrics as they can attain the structure of my silhouette.
