Down the Rabbit Hole Down the Rabbit Hole was an experimental assignment where I got to explore repurposing garments, block-printing and digital designing. I used the software CLO3D for the full design cycle consisting of drafting patterns, fitting on avatars, styling and photo-shooting.
Like going Down the Rabbit Hole, the sharp geometric shapes are now blurry, transformative and blowing up. Maximalism married Quirky. Provocatively inside-out and the colours are explosively bright. There are windows that want you to look through and see layers of colours and contradicting textures.
I thrifted second hand garments or unconventional materials in the chosen colour palette and explored new shapes and silhouettes by cutting them up and place them on a dress form.

AMFI x B******Y This project was a collaboration between AMFI x B******Y. Our inspiration was a British luxury fashion house well-reknowned for their trench coats and their synoymous check pattern. The target audience for this project were young, rebellious men who live in the futuristic, digital age, however are longing to be in touch with their heritage.
Based on trends research and my target group, I looked into hardware possibilities for embellishments. I also experimented with shibori dyeing using indigo.
I made a sweater using tufting and weaving techniques from scraps of fabrics and yarns purchased from second-hand shops.

Prints and Repeats This Print Collection is part of AMFI 2nd year study credit: Collection II. I explored shapes and colours through the use of colourful printing papers, cutting them up and creating abstract forms. Then, I created lino and foam stencils from the paper experiments. I printed on fabrics by using textile paints over the stencils, distributing the paint evenly with a roller and press them down onto the fabrics. My mode of presenting the prints was by hanging the fabrics and photograph them as they drape.

Cultural Magpie Cultural Magpie - rather than producing an indigenous culture, we are consumers of everyone else’s – true Europeans. The concept research started by analysing the deconstructed 200 year old jak from Zeeland that is currently displayed at the Klederdracht Museum - Amsterdam. After holding an intensive research on this historical Dutch jacket, it was interesting to discover that what is known as the Dutch national clichés are not entirely homegrown. For instance, clogs are worn in other muddy northern climes, Delftware is an imitation of Chinese porcelain, and the tulip was brought from Turkey. The final look was a hybrid of the multiple imaged analysed throughout the research.
Thank You!
