STUDENT WORK

Winner

Wiktoria won Best in Further Education Show at College

This garment is a tribute to Polish culture and the country’s pagan traditions that are still practised today.

Researching the smuggling culture in Communist Poland and the way the goods would be stuffed into clothing, inspired the exaggerated shape and size. Looking deeper into family photographs from Poland, led to experimenting with lace curtains from the windows and gathers in wedding dresses.

Inspired by the works of high luxury designers such as Comme des Garcons and, Viktor and Rolf, the garment is abstract and avant garde.

The final outcome being a final garment of bespoke womenswear, is presented in its physical form as well as a final photoshoot, for a magazine cover.
