Veiled Critter – Future Origin – JD Annual Design Awards 2017

Collection Name: Veiled Critter
Students Names: Lekshmi Shaji R and Anagha

Truly inspired by the creations of nature, Veiled Critter is a collection aimed at promoting conservation of nature. With a clear focus towards recycling and reusing of non-degradable plastic waste in the collection, it supports sustainability. Drawing inspiration from sea slugs which are colourful creations of God hidden beneath the waves of the sea, the collection is exceptional and inventive. The organic shape of these wonderful creatures has determined the silhouette. The silhouettes are basic patterns with layering and the blend of both transparent and opaque fabric. The garments are adorned with distinguished embellishments made from construction waste plastics and plastic drinking straws. The fabrics used are transparent and pre-pleated which depicts the texture of sea slugs. The colour story is synonymous with the deep beauty of the sea. The collection is wild, bold and in sync with the elements of nature.
