Greyarea
Bachelor's Degree work collection 2020
With inspiration from Elsa Schiaparelli’s Bowknot sweater, this work investigates the possibilities to create knitted versions of woven archetypes with the aim to reconstruct sartorial attires through abstraction in knit. This is conducted through the exploration of the construction of the suit jacket, with a focus on the layering of fusing to build shape. The work is abstracted based on the gestalt psychology theory of figure-ground with the purpose to play with the viewer’s perception of what is seen. The concept of figure-ground is also further explored within color. Based on Carlos Cruz Diez's theories of color and the work titled Couleur Additive a study to create the perception of the color grey is made. The final result is a menswear collection visualized in a virtual form made with the software CLO3D.
