REINCARNATION

REINCARNATION

For her graduation project Alexa Chia Wan Yu was inspired by reincarnation and the creation of a second life for the inanimate. She uses the wardrobe staple denim as the starting point. Throughout the collection this identity of denim undergoes material incarnations using unconventional materiality such as plexiglass with the suggestion of a classic denim garment etched into it, and translucent vinyls and polyurethanes that were similarly patterned and layered to create a sense of progression and change.
