Unlearning

In this photo there are two looks. The first look is a floor-length blue stretch dress with a 3D cube insert around the waist. The second look is a large jacket made of fawn-colored 3D organza cubes. It is paired with a printed skirt that has a left slit and blue bow.

Side view of the blue stretch dress. It has a large cube detail at the front waist, and at the back waist, there is a partial cube poking out to make it look like the cube is going through the model's body.

Stretch dress with a cube insert "through the body." Self-drawn print used as side-seam godets.

Model wears a khaki 3D long-sleeve jacket made of 102 cubes and prismatoids. Shapes are made of pieces of organza hand-stitched together. Paired with a printed multicolor skirt.

My thesis collection, Unlearning, unravels the thought process of children with obsessive compulsive disorder. My collection utilizes bold geometric shapes, 3D fabric manipulation, and self-designed prints. This conceptualizes what it feels like to be stuck in this pattern of thinking and how it alters ones reality. Unlearning seeks to unveil and find beauty in the way a brain with OCD develops.
