E-DAMN
Fall 2018 Collection

Picture

A famous Surrealist painting by Hieronymus Bosch (below) served as the prompt for a Fall 2018 fashion collections class in which I designed and sewed five-pieces called E-Damn. For the collection, I also illustrated 20 more pieces and wrote a planning report and marketing statement.​

The exotic artistry, sh
immering light-beams, and foreshadowed-danger in Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights, are reflected in my luxury line of special occasion wear. The collection is also inspired by the strobe lights, glitter, and decadent temptations of an Electronic Dance Music (EDM) festival. Although Bosch painted the oil masterpiece over 500 years ago, some of its themes can serve as a metaphor for today’s EDM concerts, all of which have influenced my collection.

My collection's name E-Damn, plays on the acronym EDM, and
​it sounds similar to
Eden, which Bosch’s first two panels depict. ​
E-Damn ties in with the damnation indicated in Bosch's last panel of the triptych. It also denotes explicative edginess to help attract Millennials.

Initial Design Developments

To initiate my design, I cut 60" x 60" and 40" x 40" paper and muslin squares. I draped with these squares and safety pinned the seams together. At first, I only allowed myself to fold the squares and not cut them. ​

A few iterations later, I allowed myself to cut parts of the squares as I draped. These initial muslins helped inspire the idea of cracking as depicted in Bosch's painting.

Material Selection

I tried inserting ribbon, LED lights, net, and reflective fabric into the seams to represent this cracking effect. Additionally, I wanted to use fabric that reflected different colors of light and had a high shadow contrast when light was shined on it. ​

For the first ensemble, I chose a silver metallic polyester boucle fabric and a mirrored dichroic ribbon, both of which changed color or intensity depending on the light.

For the second ensemble, along with digitally printing the painting on the fabric, I decided to heat-press silver foil on top of the seams.
