About Woman in Power Kostymedesign
Woman in Power er et karnevalskostyme skapt for å representere kvinners styrke. Kostymet danner en vifteliknende form pyntet med fjær, og bæres som et markant utsagn. De rosa og lilla fargene viser til de globale symbolene for bevissthet om brystkreft og vold i hjemmet. Den skulpturelle strukturen er innrammet med metalltråd og sammenføyd ved hjelp av en spesiell teknikk, deretter dekket med tekstiler som spandex og blonder, og til slutt pyntet med paljetter og andre dekorasjoner. Woman in Power ble laget for hånd fra bunnen av som en hyllest til overlevende.

Press Kit

- Costume, Carnival, Cayman, Women Empowerment,
- 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
