About Woman in Power 衣装デザイン

「Woman in Power(ウーマン・イン・パワー)」は、女性の強さを表現するために制作されたカーニバル衣装である。羽根で装飾された扇状のフォルムを描き、着用者の主張を体現するステートメントピースとして仕上げられている。ピンクとパープルの配色は、乳がんおよびドメスティック・バイオレンス啓発を示す世界共通のシンボルカラーに由来する。彫刻的な構造体は金属ワイヤーで骨組みを形成し、特殊な技法で接合したうえで、スパンデックスやレースなどの生地を張り、スパンコールをはじめとする装飾で仕上げている。「Woman in Power」は、被害を乗り越えたサバイバーたちへのオマージュとして、一から手作業で制作された。

Production Technology
This design was handmade from scratch, using a combination of various fabrics such as spandex, lace, and other embellishments such as sequins. The foundation that created the sculpted piece is framed with metal wire and bonded using a special technique.
Design Challenge
The most challenging design element is the time and effort to sculpt the design with the metal wire. This took extensive time to carve, frame, and secure before the fabric base could be applied. But the hardest challenge was the mental aspect of converting a dark personal story into a design that is uplifting and vibrant design.
Research
Design by a self-taught designer from the Cayman Islands who utilizes visualization to map and conceptualize the design. This particular design stems from a personal story that is retold in a manner to represent all women. Additionally, there was research using a combination of internet search and discussions to find the best way to create a representation that could speak to the combination of domestic abuse and breast cancer
Inspiration
This design pays homage to women's battles, specifically those who are breast cancer survivors and abuse. The combination of colors is taken from the global representation of breast cancer and domestic abuse – pink and purple. The design creates a fan-like shape adorned with feathers to create a statement piece representing women's ability to stand strong, stand tall, and overcome the physical and emotional battles associated with breast cancer and domestic abuse.
Project Duration
The project started in July 2018 and was completed in Dec 2019 in the Cayman Islands
