X-ray accessories

Part of my 3rd year collection project, was to incorporate an accessory component.

Maintaining my focus on the internal structures of the human body, I was inspired by the textures derived through Xray imaging.

I found the Xray of the human skull to be most intriguing, capturing various patterns and layers of bone.

Here is a record of images that inspired my work, followed by my final pieces. Those who were at the Collective Threads Fashion Show would have noticed these pieces on the runway.

I created this stencil by scanning a tucked chiffon that had been stitched at various positions.
