PAPER SCULPTURE by SUSAN CUTTS 

The paper sculpture inspires me that “everything can create fashion”. Using the paper that bears the words to create fashion is very novel. In my opinion, it not only pays homage to what the author is trying to say, but it also supports the concept of environmental protection. Inspired by this, I wanted to make a fashion plastic product that also spoke to the environment.

My design development

On the left side is the methods which how to use plastic to create this fabric. Also, it shows the difference between the front and the back of the fabrics. On the right side will be my design for the final outcome. My garment is single-use garment, so I want my design to be more funny.

Prototype outcome
Model: Zhixi Li
Photographer: Cellina Peng

Combining my garment and the nature, it appeals to people to love nature, because plastic is harmful for the environment. It also implies that people waste plastic bags because the plastic bags they waste are enough for people to wear different design on the plastic fabric every day.

Detail of prototype

The detail of the prototype is the top of the skirt which have some “dark flowers” as decoration. These flowers imply that the plastics are seriously harming nature and they are causing flowers to wilt and wither. Therefore, this shoot is focus on the “dark flowers”

Moving image

On this moving image, it should be clear to notice that people wear this garment can move freely which like the normal garments. There is a sleeveless top and a short skirt, so that this set of garments will not restrict people’s movement.
