AMFET Statement

Transformed freedom is the true inspiration for Team
Transformation/Evolution. Our development of couture fashion is
explored through an analogy with the evolution of life’s
creatures. The team literally creates an evolution of movement by
transforming sculptural materials into clothes, which flutter, billow
and flow on currents of air. We are all socially clothed, covered and
colorful beings, and this unique comparison to snails without shells
and the graceful jellyfish is made visual with rubber, wire, leather,
and natural fibers. Fashion is a social construct that evolves, and we
focus on the dynamic relationship among clothing, sustainable practice,
and the future of humankind. Rejecting petroleum-based
materials as a vestige of an extinct form of life and a threat to the
contemporary biosphere, the team uses natural materials to express the
possibilities of a new relationship between fashion and social
transformation. This project visually evolves from primordial soup to
couture dress as the transformation of women, freedom and future of
mankind is showcased.
