Amelia Jefferson- BA (Hons) Fashion Design and Technology
Water Movement
THROUGH THIS PROJECT I WILL EXPLORE MOVEMENT AS BOTH A PHYSICAL AND CONCEPTUAL ELEMENT WITHIN MY DEISGNS, FOCUSING ON TWO KEY IDEAS: FREE-FLOWING AND STRUCTURED MOVEMENT. I WILL AIM TO INVESTIGATE HOW CLOTHING CAN INFLUENCE, RESTRICT, OR DIRECT THE BODY IN MOTION, SHAPING THE WEARER' S EXPERIENCE.
I WILL EXPLORE FREE-FLOWING MOVEMENT THROUGH THE USE OF FLUID SILHOUETTES, SOFT DRAPING, AND LIGHTWEIGHT MATERIALS THAT ALLOW THE BODY TO MOVE NATURALLY. IN CONTRAST, CONSTRUCTED MOVEMENT WILL BE PORTAYED THROUGH STRUCTURES, AND RESTRICTED CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES. THIS WILL HIGHLIGHT TENSION AND LIMITATION OF THE GARMENTS.
THROUGH THIS EXPLORATION, THE PROJECT INTENDS TO EXAMINE THE DYNAMIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE BODY AND CLOTHING POSITIONING FASHION AS AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN MOVEMENT RATHER THAN A STATIC LAYER.
