Hidden in Plain Sight
My collection: “HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT” focuses on the idea of a dystopian city of the distant future where camouflage is a need for survival, but a hierarchy of power is still in place. The higher end of the hierarchy can be seen in altered and adapted tailored suits whilst the lower end are wearing whatever was left behind, using unconventional materials and waste fabrics to stay hidden in various ways. Creating my own camouflage was a vital part of my project as I tried to understand how these people could blend into the backgrounds of the broken metropolis through the use of print and unconventional craft. Inspiration drawn from military references, most importantly the ‘Ghillie suit’.
