About Blue Ants Колекција облека
Blue Ants е колекција облека изработена од трансформирани стари облеки. Темносините ткаенини се земени од сини работни комбинезони, а декоративните шари се засновани на историски маркички за храна. Отпечатоците се изработени со цијанотипска фотографија, во која сончевата светлина ја заменува машината за печатење. Ласерското сечење ѝ дава на ткаенината дводимензионален и тридимензионален ефект што ги следи кривините на телото. Класичната силуета на комбинезонот е извиткана и врзана. Колекцијата се нуди во варијабилни големини.

- All the redesigned dark blue fabrics in this project come from the old blue overalls during the Cultural Revolution. In addition, this project also used food stamps that were exclusive during the Cultural Revolution period to develop my design because the patterns and curves on them to be quite beautiful and attractive. Moreover,the laser-cut fabric has both a two-dimensional and three-dimensional transformation effect that follows the undulations and curves of the body.
In addition, in order to restore the sense of time during the Cultural Revolution and maintain the concept of sustainability, the prints in the Blue ants are all done using cyanotype photography. The traditional printing machine is replaced by sunlight to produce a unique printing and dyeing effect. - Design Challenge
- Laser cutting was the hardest part of this project as it is challenging to find a suitable fabric. Because some fabrics are too soft to reveal the cut graphics, while others are too hard to make clothes.
- Research
- This project was integrated the printing methods of visual communication design, cyanotype photography, and other techniques to complete my fabrics. The project also used a projector to assist me in the design of the silhouette. The designer intended to twist and bind the classic silhouette of blue overallsto disrupt the Cultural Revolution when everyone wore the same clothing.
