Somewhere In_Between Other Worlds

You don't need interplanetary travel to discover something alien to you. Other-worldly things can be found all around us, whether in a distant culture, creatures yet to be discovered, or even something more personal, like the person you are becoming. I took inspiration from East Asian photoshoots as the production value and execution are always beautiful. For my garment designs I took direction from silhouettes that aren't necessarily couture but have the potential when placed in a more refined and artistic collection. The accessories came from the 'Chrometype' digital art trend that emerged alongside the 00s resurgence. I wanted to make these objects a reality and test the combinations of extravagant couture jewellery pieces against softer, more wearable silhouettes. In turn came this peculiar blend of bespoke art and fashion looks that only a few decades ago would have taken experts to craft, but 3D printing brings an entirely new realm of possibilities to the ready-to-wear space.
