Master of Design

With this design-led research, I created a wardrobe that enables the wearer to guide and express their emotional well-being by incorporating crystals as an integral part of fashion design. By creating clothing that promotes internal reflection and works toward emotional well-being, the fashion system can be reimagined as a tool to evoke desired feelings. This design practice encourages mindful dressing and conversations of emotionality between the wearer, viewer and maker.
