‘Controlled Chaos through the Textures of Hong Kong’
This project has drawn inspiration from recent visits to Hong Kong. The collection considers the diverse textures of Hong Kong beyond fashion, drawing on three main aspects; architecture, the current political protests and the problems facing the environment in the bustling city. These elements combine to inform a collection of innovative luxury woven fabrics for Spring Summer 2021.
The collection focuses on the contrasting order and chaotic nature of Hong Kong by using a combination of natural and synthetic fibres to mimic the conflicting textures of the city. The hand woven fabrics explore monofilament, found plastics and cotton blocks creating little pouches, floats, and a layered translucent effect. Woven fabrics were developed from primary research of the cities tower blocks, considering their multitude, grid-like structure, height and scale, lattice network and contrasts between blocks.
