izzue x Tsinghua Fashion Design Award Finalist - Michelle BROWN

My name is Michelle Brown, and I'm from Anchorage Alaska studying at Parsons School of Design in womenswear. My concept behind this piece of work is garment as organism and for that I wanted to create a lot of movement and the thought of something living, moving and breathing and so I gathered a lot of fabric up and manipulated it to be something that is lively. I am very connected to nature. I think it's important to lay out everything when I started the process of gathering the actual garments to make this. So, I can see how much I was using and what I need or do not need. I'll take it back if I think it's too much. So it is important for me to conserve the amount of fabric that I was using and use every piece very wisely. 大家好，我叫Michelle Brown，來自美國阿拉斯加的安克來齊，我目前在紐約帕森設計學院的女裝部學習。我這件作品的理念是，衣服猶如有機的生物體。因此，我為設計創造很多動作，彷佛它是個能活、能移動及呼吸的物體。我將很多布料收集起來，將它們創造成一個有活力的東西。我非常喜愛自然元素，當我一開始收集衣物素材做作品的時候，我認為將所有東西都攤出來是很重要的。這使我能瞭解到自己用了多少，以及一些我需要或不需要的東西。若發現數量太多了，我會把它放回去。所以我覺得節約布料很重要，我會明智地應用每塊布料。
