I am exploring the new shapes in garments by using pieces of the quadrate shape, in contrast to the body shape, as a tool. By setting the amount of the pieces for each garment, new shapes occur because particular connecting techniques are used in order to join every piece to make a garment. The garments still look dynamic because of the visible seam allowances which creates lines all over. Moreover, the primary colours are scattered into many tones used in the collection. One tone is for one garment in an outfit. The materials are various. These make the expression energetic although the quadrilateral itself and the strong primary colours look quite static. === Program: Master Programme in Fashion and Textile Design
