Design Description

We were inspired by the designs of Rinaldy Yunardi. We created a wire frame and covered it by sewing trampoline material onto it. We cut out and blanket stitched triangles from an exercise ball by hand to construct the pants. We drilled bolts through the soles of old shoes to create our unique footwear. We embroidered pockets on the trousers with trampoline netting and red wool. The black and red flame theme of our outfit raises awareness of the burning of fossil
fuels, such as coal, which has a severely negative effect on the environment.
