Social Impact Through Collaboration
The major inspiration of the collection is a bobbin lace horse that my grandmother made and a photograph of my grandfather from the time of his childhood in which he is depicted with his favourite toy - a rocking unicorn. In the collection I work with the symbolism of an unicorn and with the title ,,I believe in unicorn'' that emphasizes the optimistic and yet untouched children's world.
I place importance on the connection of innovative procedures and technologies (by a 3D software) with an old craft. A 3D model of my grandfather was created in the ,,Wireframe'' image in accordance to the photograph. It was consequently embroided and became the main symbol of the collection. This 3D model was created by various applications, hand embroidery and by creating a plastic textile head of an unicorn with a hand embroided plexi-glass.
