| Nebula (left) & Nature's Dance (right) |
Concept I, Nebula
It’s about channeling the beauty and grace of the Greek goddess. With the heavens as the backdrop, their elegant gowns reflect nearby constellations and nebulas. Gravity has shifted the silhouettes from a high column empire waist to a free-flowing vision of a nebula mermaid. A siren of stars, galaxy, time, and grace.

Concept II, Nature's Dance
It’s about the journey every girl takes into womanhood, finding her place in the world. Playfully flirting with her own duality, the young woman finds the darker side of herself in her independence. It’s about strength and endurance combined with delicate grace — muscular power hidden beneath deceptive fragility / It’s about layers of tulle and stretchy fabrics that move with the body / Barely-there tints that hint at nude skin / It's both ethereal and earthly, both innocent and sensuous / A meditation on the fleeting nature of beauty /

ReplyDeleteIs this suppose to have images with it? Cause I don't think they uploaded properly if so. D:
Ariel,
ReplyDeleteThanks for bring that to our attention. It's a temp fix for right now.

ReplyDeleteI like the classical route both of your concepts are taking. For Nebula it works because of the overall imperial nature of the piece - even though the Greeks were a city-state society (Do you perhaps mean Roman?), but the elegant and powerful nature of their Gods / Goddesses is apparent in your design here.
As for Nature's Dance, the classical route works because of the humanistic nature both in classicism and the meaning of your piece here - a natural human journey almost very girl must take during that transitional period of her life.
The sketches in class were fantastic!

ReplyDeleteThe nebula idea is one that I am completely in love with! The deep concept behind both your dresses is great.As far as natures dance goes "muscular power hidden beneath deceptive fragility"is a beautiful description of a journey that every girl takes. I can't wait to see the finished piece.

I absolutely loved your croquis! I think they really captured the nebula inspiration--the colors, movement, inked across the body--it's very beautiful. I like how you described "the young woman finds the darker side of herself in her independence"---you have your concept completely nailed down. Can't wait to see the finished garment!
