ExhibitionThis exhibition presents research and works by students from the School of Fashion developed with students from the School of Contemporary Music, the Puttnam School of Film and Animation and students from Hongik University, South Korea.
The students were asked to respond to Force of nature, an exhibition on display at the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), New York, until 18 November 2017. The exhibition at the Museum at the FIT explores the relationship between fashion design and the natural world, such as biomimicry (the imitation of natural processes in principles of design) and the use of biomaterials to make fashion textiles and garments. The research and works of the students in the exhibition at the ICA Singapore extend these ideas, and draw inspiration from Southeast Asian culture, flora and fauna.
