About
Hi, I'm a former graphic designer and co-founder of a jewelry brand, now completing my studies in fashion design. With hands-on experience in metalwork, I used to create handmade jewelry, and metal has always been a source of excitement for me. This passion inspired me to explore the potential of metal in the fashion industry, leading to my current project. I have a keen eye for detail and draw inspiration from my surroundings, finding creativity in even the smallest things.
Project overview
INDUSTRIAL NATURE: THE ART OF METAL SCALEMAIL
This project explores the integration of metal—specifically scalemail aluminum—into fashion design. Throughout the semester, I delved into the creative and technical aspects of this material, evolving my methods to overcome various challenges. The journey from initial concept to final product involved extensive research, material experimentation, prototyping, and design refinement. Building on my previous work with Chainmail and Platemail, this semester marked a significant turning point as I focused on Scalemail. Unlike the more rigid and static nature of other metalworking techniques, Scalemail offered a unique flexibility and adaptability that I found both intriguing and ripe for innovation. This project showcases how metal can be reimagined to redefine the boundaries of fashion.
