DESIGN STATEMENT:
The collection ‘LUCID DREAMS’ focuses on immersing the audience in a futuristic and technological experience. Various mediums and shapes are utilised to replicate the abstract silhouette of a butterfly, from cut-outs to draping. The unconventional substance of resin is applied in a pouring technique in order to create a chest piece that moulds to the body and adds a chromatic effect. The colour palette incorporates the WJSN colour of 2023 ‘Digital Lavender’, with forecasted corresponding colours including green, cream and blue. A vibrant orange has been added into finer features of the collection to create a strong and interesting contrast. An exclusive custom print is incorporated in each look to further highlight the liquified and organic shapes and lines of butterflies.
