Distort
‘Distort’ is a streetwear collection aimed to embrace comfort in confidence. The collection explores the concept of beauty and distortion which is influenced by social media.
‘Silhouette’ was influenced by an exploration into oversized bomber jackets and varsity style baseball jackets. Researching motocross protective clothing helped to inform the silhouette and shape. An interest in the mesh lining techniques was used as a primary source of investigation which in turn informed the sampling. Scale is a huge part of this collection with oversized silhouettes, drawstring cords and partial knit techniques all relating to the concept of distortion. I have explored different scales of drawstring and channels to explore the distortion of fabrics in different ways, revealing and concealing prints.
My fabric story is focused on denim, cotton yarn, techno jersey and jersey fleece to accompany my streetwear aesthetic.
