About Floral Album फॅशन कलेक्शन

फ्लोरल अल्बम हे १९८० च्या दशकातील कौटुंबिक छायाचित्रांपासून प्रेरित असलेले फॅशन कलेक्शन आहे. हे कलेक्शन डेडस्टॉक कापडांपासून बनवले असून त्यात अनेक हस्तकला तंत्रांचा वापर केला आहे. मखमली कापडावर आणि पारदर्शक कापडांच्या थरांवर हाताने केलेले भरतकाम, क्रोशे, मणीकाम, विणकाम आणि क्रॉस स्टिच यांचा वापर केला आहे. क्रोशेच्या किनारी आणि विणलेल्या भागांमध्ये सिक्विनचे घटक समाविष्ट आहेत, जे परिधान करणारी व्यक्ती हालचाल करताना प्रकाश परावर्तित करतात. प्रत्येक वस्त्र स्वतंत्रपणे तयार केले जाते, त्यामुळे कोणतेही वस्त्र पुनरावृत्त होत नाही. सर्व वस्त्रे फ्री साइज आहेत. हे कलेक्शन बारकाईने केलेल्या हस्तकामाला दुर्लक्षित सामग्रीच्या पुनर्वापराशी जोडते.

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.
