I wanted to prove the opposite, with a playful, strong confident collection in optimistic recycling theme, where all prints are printed on recycled scarfs. Strong colours that radiate confidents and optimist and suits the fashion-forward consumers that is brave in choice of composition and colours, in a new traditional way. http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Flamenco-Future/138608 Bright colours in general I think are something that usually do not occur in eco- design, and overall people have an idea of eco-design to be muddy, dull and colourless.

My aunts have different dresses depending of where they live in the country. The colours in the dress come from the environment you are surrounded of and the accessories have symbols that tell stories about your village and in the folklore tradition your dress has to be hand stitch by your mother. The handcraft, story and tradition about the folklore dress interested me and inspired me to create a folklore dress for the new generation club community people in East London. Still using the inspiration and meaning in the pattern and colour as before but using them in a new shapes and colours that represent today and the future for the people in the East London community. Combining the old folklore style in pattern and motive with the ‘Shoreditch creative techno/newrave look, which include shiny materials and creative accessories and clothes solutions. Working with contrast but also similarities in form of reusing old wallhanings and combining them with new plastic materials . The Folklore dress is designed and build up with different layers that you can add and take off, I have used that concept of designing different accessories that can be mixed together and layered after your own wishes. The Future folklore dress is inventive, playful and creative just like new generation of fashion puzzle. http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Future-Folklore-Textile-Samples/122490 The History behind my project is grounded in when my mother wanted to give me a folklore dress for my graduation, and having a folklore dress is a tradition for the women in our family.
