The Arts of Fashion competition theme 2023 is - INFLEXION - and this word could cover what we are experiencing, within this new crisis hurting Europe - its echo and its rippling effect and repercussions through the world. We will use this new challenge to rethink, redefine, and redraw our way of life, the way we interact with others and therefore the way we dress. However, it can also indicate other forms of Inflexion from your creative mind or imagination, physical as well as figurative.
INFLEXION - equilibrium
This mood board is my personal take on the theme inflexion, which I titled equilibrium. The ideas behind it come from my perception of the apparent issues we face today. From problems such as coral bleaching to deforestation, and from climate change to pollution. My design choices focus on the wavy structures found in tree rings and tree bark, as well as the colorful splotches and organic patterning that you can see in coral reefs.
