Hannah Soukup is a multidisciplinary student of the arts, exploring the integration of materials and fashion through a combination of traditional and innovative craftsmanship. Her work is based on fundamental themes relating to the mind, emotions, feelings, thoughts, mental conditions, and personal states of being.

In collaboration with architect Ludovico Lombardi, Hannah Soukup designed a stunning neck piece. 3D printed by Materialise, the neck piece was featured in the third annual Supima Design Competition fashion show in 2013. Designed to be an articulated, elegant, and fluid shape, the piece was created to complement a dress in Soukup’s “Insides” collection which explores the hidden physical and personal inner self.

‘I aspire to create fashion that is more than fashion – fashion that uses technology but is not “techy” – fashion that is grounded in historical techniques and craftsmanship, combined with technological innovations, to create new experiences to wear.’

The design for the neckpiece and belt began as a spontaneous collaboration between Ludovico and Hannah as a method to integrate 3d printed elements complementing Hannah’s Supima Design Competition Capsule Collection for MBFW 2013, NY. The collection theme was “Insides”- exploring the hidden physical and personal inner self. This unique human self, which is often draped with exterior layers of life and superficiality, reveals itself outwardly in waves of transformation and possibility. The neck and belt pieces are designed as fluid shapes inspired by curvilinear transitions and gradient forces that form articulated and elegant DNA-like ornaments. The design is shaped on multiple scales and mimics the continuous morphing between one part and another, uniting to create a coherent whole. The variation of materials in the garments, neckpiece, and belt is unique yet transitions, creating a symbiotic “one”, where individual parts, ornamentation, texture, structure and material become a unified collection.
