About Are We Колекція жіночого одягу

Are We — це колекція жіночого одягу, створена для підвищення обізнаності про шкоду, яку людина завдає морському світу. Дизайн підкреслює красу коралових систем та океанських хвиль. Легкий шовковистий органза використовується в кілька шарів, утворюючи плавні розкльошені силуети на м'якій сітчастій основі. Кожна прикраса у формі корала виготовлена вручну та пришита вручну по одній, а основний виріб налічує близько 300 таких деталей. Вільні силуети та багатошарові елементи надають колекції м'якого й пишного руху. Мета колекції — заохотити людей до захисту океану.

With abstraction of finding and developing elements enriched the ideas and stimulated new creation of coral-inspired ornament in detail handcrafted.
Research
The use of WabiSabi to reflect the sense of naturally imperfection. Andres Juniper said that, If an object or expression can bring about, within us, a sense of serene melancholy and spiritual longing, then that object could be said to be WabiSabi. In design, the concept of Wabi Sabi can also be adopted, By slowing down our design processes and embracing the incomplete and imperfection which able to achieve entirely new level of beauty. The garment carry more meaning as they are unique and share a story as well as invite customers to add to that story.
Inspiration
Are We, by questioning ourselves, are the most intelligent group, HUMAN, the actual pest to this planet. With the initial researched on Biosphere2, a past experiment, American Earth System science research facility. It announced the failure due to the loss control of eco-balance within the enclosed ecological system which aimed to build a second Earth. Designer link it with marine world to reflect, intelligence is to protect not destroy, through the highlights on its beauty and contribution.

Operation Flow
Designer decided to highlight on the beauty of nature instead of keep telling people their mistakes. Realising the beauty will make people more willing to accept the current pollution that had been made by themselves and as a reminder to protect and save the planet. The ideas of highlights marine as the main focus point as it build the majority of planet area and contributed as the oxygen generators to most of the organisms which would known as valued contributors and coral reef act as the habitat for most of the smaller sized organism in the sea.
