Mannequin Inspiration:
‘Designer Jeans’ was created for the Art Meets
Fashion event to represent the artful and illustrious concept behind fashion
and individuality. Collaboratively, we
have crafted a mannequin named ‘Dina’ sporting jeans made with ‘zippers’ to
depict the double helix of DNA, the fabric of life. The neatly coded spiral strands of
information hold all of our biological material, and contribute to our sense of
self and humanity. Fashion and Science
have united, and portray an ever challenging platform for experimentation. Keeping pace with rapidly growing research
to tailor ourselves as well as our wardrobe, the goal of ‘Designer Jeans’ is to help the public embrace the fascination
for human design, yet simultaneously
respect the ‘secret of life’ as our evolving culture takes us through uncharted
territory.
