United in Love

---

Abstract

The purpose of this design was to explore the potential of modular design for wearable art in order to inspire individuals to work together to achieve peace and unity. In response to social inequality and racial discrimination, this design was inspired by the existence of the United Nations (UN) organization and the aim of its members to foster cooperation and maintain world peace and security. Taking inspiration from the UN logo and an image of people clasping hands, a human body-shaped module was created to represent social equality. The laser cut modules from a blue suede fabric were then joined together through the slots on the sides to create the top. The color blue symbolizes this unity and peace. The skirt is in multiple colors to represent the rainbow of races and cultures around the world.
