EVOLVE WEAR continued

EVOLVE WEAR
With Art playing an important role in human evolution, the creative and innovative spirit manifests itself in fashion statements and wearable expressions.

This collection of storytelling visuals through video projected animations onto costumes exploring a 4th dimension
or the unexpected use of discarded products to extend the material's life, each creation narrates with a poetic or philosophical approach to fashion.
