About Nostalgia Moon Fitafiana

Ny Nostalgia Moon dia fitafiana notsongaina avy amin'ny endrika sy dingan'ny volana eny amin'ny lanitra alina. Ity fitafiana ity dia mampahatsiahy alina feno vavaka sy fahatsiarovana ny bibiny (renibe). Nampiana faribolana ireo lamaody fototra amin'ny akanjo ambony, ary napetraka teo amin'ny sisiny amin'ny lamba tsirairay ny "boning" malefaka. Io "boning" io no mihazona ny fizoloana malefaka amin'ny volana boribory ary manome endrika telo-dimansiona ny lamba tsirairay. Nasandratra teo amin'ny mannequin vehivavy misy habenny 4 sy mannequin lehilahy misy habenny 36 ireo endri-javatra. Ny fitafiana dia novolavolaina teo anelanelan'ny Aogositra 2020 sy Mey 2021.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: In 2021, Chelsea Shin started to design the collection “Nostalgia Moon” by recalling herself praying for the peace and well-being of her grandmother on the moon in the night sky. The most essential element of her design was adding circles to the basic bodice patterns and using flexible boning to the edges of each garment to emphasize the softness of the round moon that she captured every night. Therefore, the garments themselves were designed in three dimensions as if they were a round moon.
Dimensions & Packaging: All the looks are draped on a size 4 female dress form and a size 36 male dress form.

Design Challenge: At the beginning of the design, she printed a large circle and covered the entire body, starting with her head, and thought about how to use this massive big circle more interestingly and diversely. From one huge circle to partially incorporating a circle into the basic bodice, she experienced numerous trials and errors.
Inspiration: The collection “Nostalgia Moon”, designed by Chelsea Shin, was made to keep a promise with her grandmother, but that promise could not be kept. After her grandmother left, she used to pray for her grandmother, and recalled good memories while looking up the moon in the night sky. The more nights she prayed, the phase of the moon felt like a change in her feelings, and the moon floated alone in the night sky felt like herself. The round shape of the moon, its phase, its delicacy, and its transparency inspired her as a designer.
Project Duration: The project started in August 2020 in South Korea and finished in May 2021 in New York.
