CPHFW: Bachelor and master students Swedish School of Textiles present final projects
In her final bachelor collection ‘Sculpted Space’, Yeruul Ariunsansar explored the intersection of fashion and art. The young designer wanted to create ‘wearable knitted space compositions’ and started off by experimenting with a variety of knitting techniques to eventually sculpt a three-dimensional form and silhouette.
‘Morphing entries’, Alice Andrade’s collection, aims to question dress conventions using only post-consumer waste materials and unconventional pattern making methods. Through her garment designs, the master student proposes a number of ways of displaying and dissecting the female body.
Commenting on her collection in a statement, the creator said: “I strive to challenge how the body is perceived by concealing and revealing various body parts. In hopes of questioning the context and message we communicate through the clothes we wear.”
Hugo Ehret's final master project, entitled 'Paperfolds' revisits accordion pleats in menswear. To create his designs, he knitted using paper yarn and created the pleats by hand.
'Loud or quiet, stretched or gathered, static or moving, the pleats have their own language, and the body awakes them,' the collection show notes read. 'They reveal and cover, they protect and expose. They are simple yet conflicted.'
