Final project from the Graduate Diploma in Fashion course at Central Saint Martins.
Beginning with research into interior design psychology, I began exploring the ways in which human emotion and behaviour can be effected by physical space.
Throughout the course of our lives we begin to attribute c
ertain elements of physical space with memory, and therefore positive or negative emotion. By manipulating elements of interior design we can begin to use interior space as a form of memory preservation.
For this project I began with objects and materials I most directly connect with my own memories and positive emotions. Epoxy resin was then applied to certain areas to mimic the way memories can warp and set in ways contrary to reality.
The resulting garments were representations of how the use of physical objects can be used to evoke feelings of comfort and nostalgia.
