About Floral Album Mados kolekcija
Floral Album – tai mados kolekcija, įkvėpta devintojo dešimtmečio šeimos fotografijų. Kolekcija sukurta iš likutinių (deadstock) audinių, derinamų su keliomis rankų darbo technikomis. Rankinis siuvinėjimas, nėrimas vąšeliu, karoliukų siuvimas, mezgimas ir siuvinėjimas kryželiu taikomi aksomui ir sluoksniuotoms permatomoms tekstilėms. Vąšeliu nertos apdailos juostos ir megzti elementai turi žvynelių detalių, kurios atspindi šviesą dėvinčiajam judant. Kiekvienas drabužis konstruojamas individualiai, todėl nė vienas modelis nesikartoja. Visi drabužiai yra universalaus dydžio. Kolekcija sujungia detalų rankų darbą su nepastebėtų medžiagų pakartotiniu panaudojimu.

- Production Technology
- Each piece is developed using deadstock fabrics combined with multiple handcraft techniques. Velvet, crochet, beading, embroidery, knitting, and cross stitch are applied through experimental craftsmanship. The production process integrates hand beaded garments, crocheted trims with sequin elements, knitted pieces using sequin yarns, and layered transparent textiles. The approach balances couture level precision with sustainable material practices.
- Design Challenge
- The main challenge lay in balancing nostalgic aesthetics with sustainable production limits. Many desired fabrics were no longer available, requiring extensive trials with deadstock and recycled materials. Achieving hand-embroidered precision on uneven surfaces demanded technical adaptation. The process also involved redefining femininity through craft while ensuring each garment remained wearable and relevant to modern audiences.
- Research
- The research began as a qualitative exploration of how emotional memory can shape sustainable fashion. The objective was to reinterpret 1980s silhouettes using responsible materials and handcraft techniques. Research methods included material experimentation, archival image analysis, and wearer interviews to study emotional connection to garments. Results revealed that tactile handwork and recycled materials enhance both emotional resonance and sustainability awareness in contemporary fashion.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by my grandmothers photographs from the 1980s, this project examines fashion as a carrier of personal and collective memory. Visual elements from domestic environments such as lace curtains, plastic flowers, and embroidered tablecloths are abstracted and translated into textiles, surface embellishments, and silhouette structures. The collection reinterprets nostalgia through contemporary design, positioning fashion as an archive of identity, cultural inheritance, and transformation.
- Project Duration
- This project was initiated in April 2023 and completed in September 2024 in New York.
- Operation Flow
- The collection is experienced through movement and tactile interaction. As the wearer moves, layered embroidery and sequins catch light, revealing hidden patterns and shifting textures. The garments invite sensory engagement, encouraging emotional connection through touch and reflection. Each piece performs as both clothing and storytelling medium, blending comfort with expressive form.
