INVISIBLE WRINKLES |Pattern| 2022
I found that my mother has started to pay attention to her aging problem in recent years. She believes that there must be a huge number of obvious aging signs, such as wrinkles and aging pigments, all over her body. I realize that these wrinkles do not exist after I finally see her in person when I graduate from college. But even though these traces of aging do not exist on her body, they still exist in her mind. In this situation, I consider that verbal consolation will not comfort her at all. Therefore, I used the picture of her body as inspiration to create garments for her. I only extract the confident part of her body and sew these broken pieces together. The garment I create now is a representation of a protection layer on her body.
In this project, the concept inspires the form of the patterns directly.
CONCEPT
LOOKBOOK
I choose four looks and make them into real garments. It’s a new experience for me to sew the woven fabric with the knitted fabric together. Their different tension causes interesting effects on the construction of the garments.
Obvious structural lines, bring more volume to the garment and change the position of the zipper in order to reduce the center back seam.
