WE ARE ONE
This project celebrates the climactic moment in ball games when spiritual satisfaction and team honor collide.
I have tempered the masculine attack of Rugby with the more feminine jumps and tumbling of cheerleading to create a fashion fantasy sports club.
I experimented with layered and draped soccer scarves, oversized jerseys, multiple shoulder pads, disfigured team prints, and handmade pom-pom-inspired fabric to create unpredictable and playful surfaces and silhouettes
As a Fashion student, I understand the clothing industry is the
world’s second biggest polluter so, as much as possible, I have maximized zero-waste principles and used fabrics that are either second-hand, recyclable or biodegrade easily to reduce unnecessary waste.
