My interests are quite wide, and include architecture, fine art and futuristic objects such as installations based on digital data. Besides developing basic fashion skills such as pattern cutting and fabric manipulation during my MA at the RCA, there were a lot opportunities for collaboration with students from other departments, which made my fashion concept more technical and experimental.  Â
The primary idea of my final collection is to illustrate a woman who wants to struggle with surrounding interferences; the noise is the object picked to do the deep research. Merge the surrounding sounds' data and the performer's reactive movements to track and build up a picture of the invisible noise space, which we never notice. After recording the tension, shapes and relationships during the process of the woman battling with the negative space, I use different elastic sense of strings partly dyed into the relevant data shapes, in order to show the interesting structure and tension on the body. The final piece of this collection shows a woman in a simple geometric silhouette with the falling strings either side, standing as she breaks down the interferential noise space and finally finds her pure essence .
