River to Ocean

River to Ocean is an all gender fashion collection of six looks. The collection is divided into three themes named Meet with flowers, Meet with air and Meet with earth. Each theme includes one womenswear look and one menswear look in the same pattern with different colour palettes. Layers, pleats and small handmade flower details give the garments a fluid movement. Custom fabrics were developed, and leftover fabric pieces were reused through a new fabric manipulation method to avoid waste. The hats and one vest are 3D printed in resin and assembled by hand as wearable sculptures.
