Abstract

The purpose of the design was to communicate a memory of a moment, a first, a feeling, which I could never experience again. The Falling Upward dress is a design that reflects my perspective of the hot air ballooning flight that I took in the summer of 2019 in Colorado. The challenge of the design was to communicate emotions felt before, during, and after the flight, which I could not even describe verbally. The outfits illustrate my personal emotions of the first-time flight and insight into the physical features of air balloons, such as their overwhelming size.

Keywords: emotion, design, experience, Hot air ballooning
