Fashion Design
This is an extension project from my thesis – Into the Skin (2021), in which I focused on creating natural-dyed woven textiles for fashion usage.
To further visualize my thesis production, I designed garments and accessories according to the character of each textile with this project.

From my original sketch to final looks, there is a big progress between them.
During the design process, I let textiles guide me and let the project grows organically by wrapping them on mannequins or human bodies.
This is quite a small project with just two looks, but I tried to fulfill it by adding various accessories to bring diversity to them.

Eventually, there is a field trip atmosphere among these two looks, and they are examples of natural-dyed fabrics that can be productized while being fashionable and playful.
Fitting & Item List:
Looking for different dynamics, I chose to work with a photographer who takes fashion shots for the first time for this photoshoot.
Besides, I tried the very first outdoor photoshoot, bringing some wind, sunlight and body movements to my work.
