Transcendance Onirique

Board Test:

For this project, we had to create a silk kimono, from dyeing to creating the kimono.

I started without really knowing where I was going, but by doing a lot of experimentation, I realized that there was a very light and colorful side that emerged from my tests.

My theme therefore turned towards dreams and more particularly "dream transcendence"

So my color range had to have a meaning. I was interested in the meaning of colors in India because they have a religion rich in spirituality, which fits well with my theme of dreamlike transcendence, during Holi, the festival of colors that celebrates the arrival of spring.

Blue represents truth, purple represents creativity, orange embodies spirituality, and yellow symbolizes knowledge.

After this, I was able to start dyeing the silk as well as creating the patterns, making prints in black to contrast with the 4 main colors.

Then I moved on to making the garment. I imagined a closed kimono in order to leave more space for the pattern and the texture of the crumpled fabric.

I knew right away that I was going to make a hood, which adds a mysterious side to the garment. Then I obviously made bell sleeves, detached from the top, which reinvents the kimono.

Finally, this revisited kimono reflects the theme of dreamlike transcendence.

The light and fluid material of the silk allows you to be like in a dream, and the bright colors give a psychedelic and new aspect to this usually traditional garment.
