Uthanda. Prudhvi Devaraj Kumar, a Advanced Diploma in Fashion Design at JD Institute of Fashion Technology Vijayawada, was inspired by various sources including natures motion, textiles, art installations, human body movements and the evolution of a soul through five stages to develop his “Kinetic Fashion” collections, which won “Excellence in Academic & Creative Design Award” at the JD Design Awards 2024.

ILLUSTRATIONS & BOARD
My vision for Kinetic fashion draws inspiration from various sources including natures motion, textiles, art installations, human body movements and the evolution of a soul through five stages. The word Kinetic means “movement”. So I want to incorporate “movement”as my core element. This concept is a vision of clothing. It goes beyond conventional fashion by integrating various mechanisms, technologies or structural elements.

Traditionally, fashion has been static. A dress remains a dress, whether you’re standing, sitting or dancing. But Kinetic wearable art changes this narrative. This concept suggests that future fashion will not only be about appearance but also about engaging experiences, merging technology with style to redefine how we perceive & interact with clothing, thus justifying its relevance & prominence in the upcoming years within the realm of future fiction. In the future, Kinetic fashion not only serves as an expression of personal style but also acts as functional & adaptable second skin.
