MA Fashion Artefact

Haute Couture, Design, Womenswear

I am Preethi Kosanam, pursuing an MA in Fashion Artefact at the London College of Fashion. My work bridges artistry and meaningful expression, rooted in a strong foundation of leather design for garment and accessory construction. I blend craftsmanship and innovation, creating pieces that captivate and resonate with the human experience. My creative journey reflects my inner world, where each emotion becomes a tangible artefact. Drawing from personal experiences, I weave narratives into my designs, transforming raw emotions into works of art. This process serves as both a creative outlet and a means of catharsis, translating life's complexities into tangible forms. Central to my artistic philosophy is the belief that design should transcend aesthetics, offering profound insights into the human condition. My creations invite viewers to explore the depths of my vision, with each piece being a canvas for emotions, thoughts, and experiences. I approach each project with meticulous attention to detail, from conceptualization to execution. Every stitch and contour reflects my commitment to excellence and technical mastery, striving to manifest my vision with clarity and precision. Beyond aesthetics, I aim to use my craft as a vehicle for social awareness and change. My artefacts highlight pressing issues, spark dialogue, and foster empathy, addressing environmental sustainability, social justice, and cultural heritage. As I refine my skills, I remain committed to pushing the boundaries of creativity and consciousness. Each creation is a testament to the transformative power of design, leaving an indelible imprint on the world of fashion artefacts.

Collection : Agony

Category: Apparel

Competitions: International

The pandemic's impact - the agony faced by those who are perceived differently depending on our standing as people and members of society forced us to change ourselves almost entirely. The well- off side of humanity who could have strived in this situation with the possession of their assets, who could have taken this lifestyle change as a pro, did not take it as imagined. The pandemic bought all of us together, those of different colours and statuses to help fight the inevitable spread of disease. But teamwork can’t undo death at the end of the day. It brought us closer, only to grieve the losses of our beloved loved ones. It was the agony that brought us together, but also the reason that we detached from reality, forced to face our true selves and fears, throwing us into voids of numbness and ultimately, shattering our souls into the grey zones. Us moving away mentally caused many of us to choose to move away physically as well. We connected more with nature inspiring this story which explores these new nomadic lifestyles, via solution-driven, versatile items using extreme tactility silhouettes in a monotone colour scheme. INSPIRATION: Coronaviruses are enveloped viruses with a positive-sense RNA genome. They cause diseases in birds and mammals, including humans, that can be mild or fatal. Mild illnesses in humans include some cases of the common cold. More lethal varieties can cause SARS, MERS, and COVID-19. The name "coronavirus" comes from the Latin word corona, meaning "crown" or "halo".
