“SECOND SKIN” BIOMATERIAL COLLECTION

SECOND SKIN IS AN AVANT GARDE FASHION PROJECT THAT REMOULDS THE FEMALE FIGURE WITH LEATHER-LIKE ACCESSORIES USING BIOMATERIAL TEXTILES. THE DESIGNED OUTCOMES DRAW INSPIRATION FROM TRADITIONAL PIECES SUCH AS THE CORSET, GLOVE, BELT AND CASTS TO CONSTRUCT ACCESSORIES THAT ARE EFFECTIVE IN LEATHER-LIKE MATERIALS. THE ‘BIO’ CONSTRUCTION OF THE MATERIAL IS ACHIEVED BY A GLYCERINE, GELATIN, AND CHARCOAL SOLUTION THAT IS PAINTED ONTO A NATURAL FIBRE, CREATING A ‘WET LOOK’ FABRIC. MASCULINE ELEMENTS EMPOWER THE WEARER AND THE ADDITION OF METAL HARDWARE PROVIDES STRENGTH AND UTILITY.
