Movement

This project explores the evolutionary inheritance of bipedalism, conceptualising and interpreting this evolutionary trait into the idea of “Movement” and the dynamic interplay of human movement with the scientific capture of motion. Drawing on references to stroboscopic photography, and scientific data that capture frames of movement within the moments of intense physical exertion of the human body; whilst also referencing the translation of movement through subjects ranging from architecture to nature. At it’s core is the reinterpritation of the Japanese “Tsunobukoru” (literal translation Horn-Bag), a bag that reacts to bodily motion with historical usage within agricultural labour. This concept is extended through the exploration of the bag’s literal translation, examining the dynamic patterns found on animal horns; culminating and subverting conventional understandings of movement into wearable design.

Working with our partners at Arts Thread to develop lifelong learning and career opportunities for students of fashion and design. Our partnership provides the opportunity to compete on a world stage, participate in industry led workshops, set up an outstanding portfolio and gain access to the resources that will kickstart careers in fashion and design.
