HOLISTIC SENSORY TAILORING
PROJECT BRIEF; DESIGN A TAILORED PIECE FOR A DESIGNER OF CHOICE. MY CHOICE WAS PAOLO CARZANA WHO WAS INSPIRED BY CLOTHES BEING HOLISTIC AND HEALING THROUGH TOUCH AND SMELL. I TOOK THIS FORWARD AND CREATED A GARMENT THAT WAS INFUSED WITH VARIOUS ESSENTIAL OILS WITH DIFFERENT HEALING PROPERTIES. I CHOSE TO INCORPORATE DIFFERENT TYPES OF NATURAL FABRICS (SILK, LINEN, YORYU) AND FABRIC MANIPULATIONS (PIN TUCKS) FOR A VARIATION IN TEXTURE TO TOUCH. I LEARNT HOW TO TAILOR A JACKET THROUGH THIS PAPER, MY PATTERN WAS INCREDIABLY COMPLEX WITH ITS LAYERS AND ASYMMETRY, AND IT WAS A GOOD TEST OF MY SKILL SET.
