BIOMIMICRY IS A TERM DEFINED AS THE IMITATION OF NATURE. THIS COLLECTION WAS INSPIRED BY NATURAL OBJECTS THAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION, ESPECIALLY THE SPIKY FRUIT SHELLS I COLLECTED. ALL THE FABRICS WERE HAND DYED IN VARIOUS METHODS INCLUDING NATURAL DYEING. THE JACKET AND THE SKIRT ARE ZERO-WASTE GARMENTS BECAUSE ALL THE FABRIC SCRAPS WERE STRUCTURED WITH BONING AND THEN HAND-STITCHED ON THE BASE OF BOTH GARMENTS AS DECORATIONS.
