The students’ work stems from the transformation of a circle, a square and a triangle using a different approach in structuring the surface, which becomes the carrier of the creation of the clothing form. The inspiration was based on the development of spatial structures that reflect a creative and innovative approach to exploring the various possibilities of textile manipulation.
When creating the installation, the students explored different ways of combining and spatial structuring the geometric shapes of a circle, square and triangle into clothing forms, where the basic shapes from which they were formed can no longer be directly identified. They included various well-known technological ways of structuring in the realization of forms, which they upgraded with their interventions and innovations in spatial solutions. In developing the surface structure, they followed the idea of the repeatability of the basic design building block. The result is clothing images with a distinctly structured surface, which becomes the carrier and determinant of the formation of the form itself. In developing the clothing form, students did not focus on the functional character of the garment, but on the experimental structuring of the material by developing an analytical approach to finding innovative solutions to achieve artistic textile compositions as a reflection of their authorial design signature.
