DREAM VS. REALITY
Concept As we live in a time and age where reality feel inevtable. It would be nice to escape to an other reality. As kids we used to play with our imaginary friends, make up stories and go on adventures beyond our imagination. We went to other dimensions. And created other worlds to play. We lived care free without having to worry about what’s going on in the world. Our imaginary friends helped us along the way to prepare for the “real world”.
As we grow older we lose sense of our childly imagination. The world’s we created are fading away. We killed our imaginary friends without even noticing. We’ve growned up and don’t need them anymore.
Now that we participate in the real world. Reality strikes in as lightning. Reality is taking over. Your fear of looking stupid is holding you back. Society is telling you who you should be, how to behave and act like the mass. Now you or
the kill
real you
question imaginary did

MATERIALS
Concept For this collection I’ve put the focus on creating a contrast between the feeling I get of “the imaginary friend” and “the demon” that in this collection are a metafore for your child hood imagination and the reality of adult hood. The main focus was on showing the concept of matamorphose in the fabric samples I made. for the look and feel of the imaginary friend i was looking for : fluffy, clouds, flowers, and soft. and for the demon I let myself get inspired by the looks and silhouette of the scorpion. with this in the back of my head I expirimented with materials, manipulate materials and also made my own material.

ECTION PLES
The three samples are originals and designed based on a feeling. These are not pre-designed digitally that’s why they are nog in the collection overview. While making I explore and decide what the samples were going to look like. This is a very intresting method of designing because you never know what the end result will be. This method I used throughout my entire design precess.
