UNDERNEATH¶

My approach follows the principle of “beginning with the end in mind.” My primary focus lies on materiality & form, with technique coming 2..

As a result, the remaining parts of the outfit intentionally move into the background. Nevertheless, my intention is to create a coherent overall concept. I have therefore already considered the form, silhouette, color palette, & materiality of the remaining elements. The outfit is meant to be minimal & restrained, supporting the material piece without becoming visually dull. Formal elements are subtly echoed & continued.

For this reason, I chose to incorporate various cut-outs that conceal certain areas while emphasizing others.

Ideally, I would have liked to work with SEACELL for this part. I still own white fabric in Germany. Dyeing it with seaweed-based pigments would have been an exciting extension of the concept. However, further exploration of pigmentation would exceed the scope of this already extensive project.

I therefore consciously decided to narrow & define the focus more clearly rather than expanding it further. This remains a potential future direction — as does a more holistic material consideration of the “underwear” layer.
