THE BRAND Our goal is ‘to portray who we want to be and how we carry ourselves, our attitude and collective path. Our man-made constructed environments are disconnected and unaware of other life and the planet which is why there is waste.’ In short, We’re designing, sourcing and manufacturing clothes in a way that benefits people and communities while minimising impact on the environment, to be precise.

Ideation
THE CONCEPT The concept is simple and straight, inpired from dumplings, which is my personal favourite street food, i wanted to design a garment which would replicate the Structure and Form of a dumpling. To escalate my ideation and to start with the next stage i.e execution, I also made a moodboard which helped me making my design proccess more streamlined and effective.

Reverse Engineering Ideation
THE BRIEF The project begins with understanding the concept of Reverse Engineering, where we begin with a whole and start breaking it down to the most fundamental component that makes the whole. we had to scout through various flea markets selling garments in the capital, in search of an interesting jacket. Combining all our research and matrial we had to come up with a jacket design.

Village Chizami
R A I N C O AT We visited Chizami village where we observed complete process of raincoat weaving. Villagers braided their own raincoat from dried date leaves. Each leaf is twisted over the thigh and further braided and interlocked together forming a pattern, it is continued and thus raincoat is been made. This technique of making raincoats fascinated me the most and I took this as my inspiration for the project.

DENIM PROJECT COTTON
STORY
05 “ The beauty of denim is its versatility, you can feel comfortable and sexy. �
About
COTTON Cotton is a soft, fluffy staple fibre that grows in a boll, or protective cases around the seeds of the cotton plant of the genus Gossypium in the mallow family Malvaceae. The fibre is almost pure cellulose.Under natural conditions, the cotton bolls will increase the dispersal of the seeds. Cotton fibre is used to make many fabric types at every price point. The fibre is hollow in the centre and under the microscope, resembles a twisted ribbon. The two most common weaves for cotton are the plain and twill weave.

I N S P I R AT I O N We were inspired by Bharti ( Type of Bandhini ) the technique which we have seen during our visit to Bhuj. That intricate method of knotting amazed us and the texture reminded us of braille script. Braille is a tactile writing system used by people who are visually impaired. It is traditionally written with embossed paper. Further we designed garment specially for blind people without any top stitch and few hidden pockets in kohra and indigo dyed blue.

Mural
We made a mural representing a wave made from mocks we explored and few denim scraps.We co related the wave with the life of a person who suddenly turned blind i.e. a sudden huge change which with time settles down just like a wave.
06 EXPAND YOURSELF
“ To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. ”

Expansion
THE BRIEF In this project we designed to help develop creative
vision
expression,
communication,
perception and critical thinking using various techniques taken from theatre. This is to engage with the method of designing through interpretative and immersive methods.From those various physical and mental exercises I felt like illusion. Further designed a garment creating illusion during the body movement as it shines beneath the pleats of the garment which is nonlustrous from the surface.
