I decided to slowly come back to fashion this semester after about a year of taking classes in various other departments to explore different mediums. As someone who entered the school to pursue fashion, it was interesting to find that I was struggling to adjust back into the medium. It felt slightly unfamiliar to me at the beginning of the semester and I wasn’t sure how to approach it. I started by focusing on using the found materials in my apartment as well as second hand stores through the eyes of fashion. Along with this new perspective, experimentation has been the biggest part of my work this semester. Manipulating new materials, seeing where these materials take me as I work and letting them sort of create themselves. It’s been a semester full of rediscovering and revisiting fashion with new eyes.
