THE COLLECTION DEALS WITH CONTROL AND LOSING CONTROL IN TWO ASPECTS: MAN’S CONTROL OVER NATURE AND OVER HIMSELF. I LINKED THIS IDEA WITH THREE SUBJECTS: BEES, QUEEN ELIZABETH I, AND CHAOS THEORY.
THE BEES REPRESENT A CONTROLLED SOCIAL AND HIERARCHICAL SYSTEM WHILE BEING A CRUCIAL COMPONENT MAINTAINING THE ECOLOGICAL BALANCE. HOWEVER, MANKIND UTILIZES THE NATURAL RESOURCES WHICH EXTINCT THEM AND DISTURBS THIS BALANCE. QUEEN ELIZABETH I IS AN EXAMPLE OF A FEMININE POWERFUL MONARCHY BY DEVOTING TO THE PEOPLE AS A “VIRGIN-QUEEN” MARRIED TO HER REALM. THE CHAOS THEORY DESCRIBES PHYSICAL SYSTEMS WITH KNOWN MODELS, HOWEVER UNPREDICTABLE AND UNCONTROLLED.
NOWADAYS, THE FASHION INDUSTRY IS LOSING CONTROL. MASSIVE CLOTHES’ SUBSTITUTION CAUSES NATURE POLLUTION, AND CUSTOMERS ARE DISCONNECTED FROM THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. THE COLLECTION PRESENTS WIDE USE OF HANDICRAFTS SUCH AS KNITTING AND EMBROIDERY TO PROVIDE VALUE AND LONG LIFE TO THE GARMENTS.
