Anna Vescovi Garment Fashion

Kinematic Konnection

Kinematic Konnection is a garment made from laser cut acrylic pieces. Hundreds of gold jump rings join roundels measuring one inch by one inch, cut from smoke colored acrylic sheets. The pattern was calculated mathematically, and sample variations were tested to millimeter accuracy to set the ideal width and thickness. The glossy surface returns subtle reflections, much like a mirror. The joinery balances movement with weight, referring to the pressure of unrealistic standards of physical image in ballet. The linked structure also allows pieces to be added or removed to adjust the fit.

Perception of the Eyes Wearable Art

Karina Frances Edmonds Wearable Art Fashion

Perception of the Eyes

Perception of the Eyes is a wearable art dress inspired by eyes and vision. The garment mirrors the form of an eye on the bodice, where the breast suggests the shape and the nipple marks the pupil. Strips run from that point toward the ground, crossing at set points of intersection to form a pattern that falls into waves. The pattern recalls scientific diagrams of the refraction of light. The bodice is built as a corset with wire and stiff faux leather, which allows the strips to be pulled tight. The hip lines echo vintage shapes in a contemporary form.
