Ida Gro Christiansen captures body movement for Modebelofte 2014

Ida-Gro-Christiansen-2
This year’s Modebelofte 2014 takes place in Eindhoven during the Dutch Design Week (18-26 October) and as always the competition investigates the future of fashion. This year’s theme is Seductive Precursors and this piece above has been created by Ida Gro Christiansen (Royal College of Art, London) who tries to capture body movement. By combining flexible and stiffer materials, she succeeded in making new shapes thanks to the different shaping language and due to non-traditional fabrics. The result is an uncontrollable dimension that is added to the pattern cutting process. The basis for her collection is a super thin stretch tulle that is contrasted by both heavy furniture wool from Kvadrat as well as high gloss plastics and rubber.

Modebelofte 2014 takes place from October 18th until 26th in Bongo Beach Club, Eindhoven.
