WIP: Sensation of water / Texture and color samples

Color and texture samples in different materials for a sportswear mini-collection inspired by the sensation of awe while being under water.
The textures and materials/material combinations mimics the tactile perceptions of liquid touching bare skin; a soothing, cool and silky sensation. This feeling is contrasted with smaller details resembling a wet, a bit clammy, skin. The colors and other visual elements in the collection visualizes the illusions waves create; how the waters surface, your own body, reflections of light, the bottom of the sea, lake or pool all blends into a mesmerizing sight. 
 
This project is done in collaboration with Suvi Järvelin, but below is shown only samples done by me.
Work still in progress, updates and the final designs for the collection coming up later!
