How to balance the fragility and strength in fashion design

my project

The main concept of my project is Challenge, the notion of female vulnerability, instead proposing that women possess qualities like inner strength, ferocity, and self-reliance. How to balance vulnerability and strength in fashion design? In this project, I combined with the research on archive to experiment out a lot of fabric transformation, so that the fabric has a relatively hard strength despite its soft characteristics. I am in the process of raising funds to further develop this project.

who i am? 

I am an MA Fashion Designer from Kingston University. I like to recreate the structure of the garment, but also like to transform the fabric, and integrate the two.

my story

I am a student who loves fashion design, and my work experience has made me pay more attention to women in the workplace. I want women to look like they have more strength under their fragile exterior. Therefore, I contrasted the weak elements and the strength elements through research, and combined the two. So I did a lot of experiments, I used armor elements to transform the fabric, so that the women have a strong appearance, at least it seems to be so. A concise silhouette is used to depict the softness of women. More experiments will be conducted to explore this topic.
