"Off the Plinth" Draping and Design

Design Process - Draping - Creative Design - Fashion Illustrations

University for the Creative Arts - May 2025

"Off the Plinth” is a collection developed during Sarah's semester abroad in London. She was inspired by art and the women frozen in perfect sculptures. Statues become a metaphor for the modern woman: placed high on a plinth, admired and immobilized. She explored the tension between softness and structure, natural and controlled beauty. Through draping and fabric manipulation, the wearer is fluidly moving off the pedestal: crumbling like rock, falling like water, or decomposing as plant life reclaims her.
