Antithesis is about opposites introduced together for contrasting effect. The nature against the man-made world. Colours that are familiar to us for different reasons. Nature-made lines and sharp lines at the same time. This collection brings forward such a contradiction and aspires to familiarize us with our everyday surroundings. It allows us to become one with who we are. Let’s all take a moment to reflect and creatively connect with the world.
Inspired from the nervous system found in most forms of life, this shoe leaves a footprint of nature into our artificial world. The material used for making this shoe, namely silicone, is picked not only for comfort and due to its durability, but mainly due to its synthetic nature.
Simple straight cuts, reminding us of the agony of everyday bustling lives, find their way in this dress, which is made out of what nature provides for us, although in typical urban colour. All this finds its contradiction in the use of synthetically-made silicon, carved in a way to mark the natural flow of life.
*note: The pictures of my project were being selected as promotional material for the exhibition throughout the city of Milan.
