About Self Defense Mechanism Herencollectie

Zelfverdedigingsmechanisme is een herencollectie die is ontworpen om te fungeren als een beschermende laag voor de drager. De collectie is een reactie op een tijdperk van informatie-overload, waarin mensen dagelijks meer boodschappen ontvangen dan één persoon kan verwerken. Prints gebaseerd op neuron- en gaasgeometrie suggereren verspreiding en vervaging, waardoor de buitenwereld moeilijker te zien wordt en de geest kalm kan blijven. Katoenen en nylon gaas worden aan elkaar genaaid om een nieuwe textuur te vormen die het geprinte patroon weerspiegelt. De kledingstukken volgen standaard herenmaten en kunnen als alledaagse kleding worden gedragen.

Production Technology
Using neuron and mesh geometry on prints symbolizes the spread and blur which makes us can't see what the outside world looks like and maintain our mind clear. By sewing cotton and nylon mesh together to create a new texture which is similar to the pattern I design for this collection.
Design Challenge
The hardest part is to create the texture by sewing cotton and nylon mesh together. It's hard to copy the shape of neurons.
Research
It's the idea come up in my mind, the concept start from the imagination of me hiding in my own womb and observing this world. The real one hiding inside and the fake one control me to live my life. And It is exactly how the Augment Reality works. So in my initially research, it fulls of the image of AR(hiding in womb), neurons (feeling), electricity (neurotransmission).
Inspiration
In the era of information explosions, humans are stimulated by various environments. The messages that make us receive in one day actually are far more than one person could undertake. Consequently, these clothes are aimed to consider as a protective layer for ourselves to stabilize in this world. Using neuron and mesh geometry on prints symbolizes the spread and blur which makes us can't see what the outside world looks like and maintain our mind clear.
Project Duration
The project started in September 2021 in Taipei and finished in March 2022 also in Taipei, made as my graduate project which also the last project before I graduate.
Operation Flow
People can wear this collection as normal clothing, but also wear it to anywhere depend on their feeling. As long as you feel great to this collection then that's the reason.
