Design Description
The outfit combines a sharp, angular coat with a softer, feminine dress. I want to raise awareness about women in STEM: Science, Tech, Engineering, Maths. The dress part is made from t-shirts and net fruit & veg bags. Techniques used include weaving, sewing, embroidery, crochet and origami. The coat is constructed from toothbrushes drilled and tied together to form equilateral triangles. These reflect equality. Triangles are the strongest shape, representing the strength of women in the world. The hat complements the triangles with the feminine flowers. The design displays power and elegance
