For my final I wanted a garment that overpowered. So I made a really high collared bodice with a long skirt. I carved out a leaf out of a sponge and used textile paints to make the abstract print on the outfit. To show sex appeal I left the sides of skirt open and closed it to hip with a fagoting stitch.

Product Design Company founded in 2007 by Jessica Rosenkrantz and Jesse Louis-Rosenberg.
Cell Cycle is a line of 3D printed nylon and stainless steel jewelry.
"The pieces are 3D printing in nylon (polyamide) using a process called Selective Laser Sintering (SLS). The process “grows” the pieces in layers by laying down a thin coat of powdered material and fusing together the solid regions with a laser. The technology is quite interesting as it allows you directly translate a digital file into a physical object. SLS is an especially versatile method because there are almost no limitations on form, and you get a solid plastic part. The nylon material is strong and flexible, not brittle, so it can withstand regular use. 3D printing is still a quite expensive process and part of our design idea was to create a form that could be made and sold at an affordable price point. The cellular nature of our designs creates rigid forms that enclose a large amount of space but use only a small amount of material. By minimizing the material usage, we would able to minimize the manufacturing costs of these pieces and bring 3D printed products to the masses."
My final project is inspired by keywords like; consumed, overwhelmed, overpowered, and darkness. I chose this three images above to give you idea of what my inspiration is for my final project.
