This photoshoot was shot on a $20 dollar budget. I taped white paper to my wall and used some old yarn to create the background.
This design took inspiration from the “Seasons and Elements (set of four)” from my visit at the Met museum. The French embroidery from 1683 had a lot of iconography referring to the four different seasons. I was mainly inspired by the saturated colors and attention to detail. The garment is separated into 4 parts. The sleeve on the left represents fall, the right sleeve is winter, the top corset is spring, and the skirt is summer. I used fabric that represented each season by the color pallet and material type. The sleeves and straps are all detachable with snaps to add to the multi-functionality of the garment. All the fabric was sustainably sourced from Fab Scrap in Brooklyn and was cut into strips and weaved together.
