Abstract:
Alternando convenções sobre o corpo e a beleza, as seleções da “Internal Collection” (Coleção Interna) mostradas no FILE representam a anatomia interna em forma vestível externa. Fundindo anatomia, moda e tecnologia, cada peça é criada à mão e com tecnologias de fabricação digital. Ao retratar designs inspirados pela anatomia, esta obra comunica que, quando compartilhamos nossa semelhança e o que está acontecendo dentro de nós, uma oportunidade é oferecida para encontrar a beleza dentro de nós mesmos e a conexão com os outros.
