MOTH

Suzanna YuHigher Diploma in Fashion Design (Knitwear Design)
"FLATPACKABLE" is a collection that observes the social phenomenon – people are paying more but for lesser space – and wishes to address the issue through its design. It aims to bring out the message that freeing up space for what is essential in life, both physically and mentally, is key to finding inner peace and happiness in the sometimes-chaotic outer world!
The collection plays with the idea of “expandable and collapsible space” and applies flatpack- and origami-inspired concepts to its design. The folded detail is the key feature; each and every piece can expand and collapse into its “flattest” form. Organza ironed on medium-stiffness interfacing fabric is the main material used in the collection, as it resembles the quality of paper, which is foldable, thin and lightweight.

FLATPACKABLE

Daniel ChuHigher Diploma in Fashion Design
Inspired from “Plastic Surgery”, it is a fashion collection with the theme “Variable”. Similar to the idea of jigsaw puzzle, the fashion pieces are made up of individual pieces of fabrics which people can create their own unique clothes by assembling those interlocking and tessellating pieces with jean buttons. With the help of technology, the pattern is made by 3D printing, not only making it much more outstanding, but also enhancing the clothing ventilation.

Plastic Surgery

Ann HoHigher Diploma in Fashion Design
Contemporary trends keep changing across the time. Fashion sometimes could recount a story of history, reflecting the historical development and cultural changes. By integrating innovative and traditional techniques, the collection “Hook the Hope” emphasizes the importance of preserving history. The natural pattern of fish net can only be seen after ripping away the gel coating, symbolic to the uncovering of history. The print making process and the fish net pattern also demonstrate craftsmanship.

Hook the Hope

Yeung Shun LeongHigher Diploma in Fashion Design
"De Wille zur Macht" is inspired by the German philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, who has a concept of Übermensch, meaning superior man - a goal for humanity to set for itself. Leong believed that fashion can be the power to overcome different daily challenges, in the format of hi-tech and functional clothing. This collection adopted thermoplastic materials, heat-sensitive fabrics and model-making techniques to build the structures of the pieces with masculine style, demonstrating the power of human and fashion. It also reminds people to stay strong even in difficult conditions.
