Simulation AW 15/16

SIMULATION INVESTIGATES LIFESTYLES THAT HAVE EMERGED FROM THE IMITATION OF REAL WORLD PROCESSES. we EXPERIMENT WITH IDEAS BEYOND OUR PLANET IN virtual tribalsim . the man-made fuels a coded existence and a move towards healthy living and medicinal discoveries allow eternal youth . individuals are able to create their own personas via the digital, creating an abstracted reality . a security flaw is in effect due to high levels of PRIVACY BREACHES.

we enter an era where the advancement of the internet in conjunction with technology has made the human race adept at evaluating and controlling its environment.

Virtual Tribalism | Simulation AW 15/16

an unfamiliar territory is explored as we look to a new style of tribaLism - one rooted in the virtual and otherworldly . experimental designers across all sectors lead the way in avant garde design for home, apparel, accessories, and funrniture. heavy embellishments and jewel tones lend themselves to a bold and luxurious lifestyle.

Coded Existence | Simulation AW 15/16

the ability of the human race to create whole new dimensions is now possible with the advances in technology. a new order of progressive designers and thinkers propells us into an existence that is purEly man-made.prints are painted and carefully computer-generated. silhouettes are overly structured and texturized with trompe l’oeil effects. synthetic fibers are used in all sectors of design.

ETERNAL YOUTH

24

Eternal Youth | Simulation AW 15/16

the human quest to stay young at heart is now physically possible due to medicinal advances. along with a move towards healthier living, humans are living longer and aging slower. bold colors and dream-like prints splatter apparel, art, interiors, and home. lightweight fabrics breathe new life into a cold season.loose silhouettes encourage the unisex. a general feel of ease emerges from further capabilities to control our lives.

Abstracted Reality | Simulation AW 15/16

the simulation of real world processes are not all good. in abstracted reality , humans are creating personas via the internet, throwing us into a world where nothing is really as it seems. the smoke and screens are mirrored in translucent fabrics and distorted prints. cutouts and accessories are not of conventional design. close inspection of details reveal odd touches of color and line.

SECURITY FLAW

Security Flaw | Simulation AW 15/16

yet another downfall of a simulated society is the lack of privacy in a cyber world where all information is shared among all members of a network. there is now a move towards anonymity and austerity . colors are muted and prints are of small scale. silhouettes are draped to hide the human figure. coverage of the face, neck, and other body parts are the normal.
