This is my Esmod Graduation collection. I wish I could've been happier with the outcome, but I guess that it's common to not be super satisfied with ones first try. Also, corona happened right in the middle of our busiest time working on this final assignment.. Felt like I was slowly drowning at one point, BUT I passed, got my Esmod International diploma and an Adobe Certificate at the same time, so even though I'm not happy with my collection, I graduated and can have a life again!
THE "SKIN DEEP" COLLECTION
Inspiration
For this collection I was inspired by the human anatomy. More specifically the inside of the human body and the skin protecting it. I’ve focused on the ageing and repairing of the skin (wrinkles and suture) as well as the cardiovascular system. The lines in the garments come from the natural lines within the body, especially the blood vessels. The zig zag details that is a recurring theme throughout the collection symbolise stitches from suture used to repair the skin and hold it together. The volume comes from sagging skin and the fact that our skin goes from tight to loose as it ages. Thus some garments looks weirdly out of proportion and all are starting from a tight neck or waist and ending up at a wide hem.
