Our July cover story looks at the sketchbooks of some of fashion graduates in NCAD with photography by Ruth Connolly.
“‘The Golden Ratio’ collection centres around the use of what are thought to be high-vibrational fabrics, such as natural and undyed wools, linens, and cottons, to form a collection that focuses on the feel-good aspect of clothing. Through research conducted for the collection and my thesis, I explored the idea that each fabric has a specific vibrational frequency. By using fabrics that are thought to elevate the body’s energetic field, I created a collection that leaves the wearer feeling uplifted, both mentally and physically.
Along with this, I explored the idea of connections throughout the Fibonacci Sequence (The Golden Ratio), looking at the way in which unlikely aspects of life are connected to and affect one another, similar to the theory that the clothes that we wear can affect our well-being and disposition, either positively or negatively.”
The NCAD graduate show runs across the campus until June 16. The show might be over but you can still explore all the graduates’ work from across Design, Education, Fine Art and Visual Culture at NCAD.
