Wandering But Not Lost

---

Abstract

This ensemble takes its textile design inspiration from "The Wizard of Oz". Paying homage to the cinematic classic by transitioning from black and white to emerald green in an interesting array of lines and dots. The surface of each piece is an adventure of its own making. Hand and computer aided techniques work together to create a layered streetwear look that is striking from near and far. The outfit begins with dye sublimation printed fabric in the form of a white jersey knit t-shirt. Keeping with the black and white theme the oversized black denim bomber jacket was hand screen-printed with metallic white and charcoal ink. Lastly, the emerald green satin skirt provides a feminine contrast to the t-shirt and oversized jacket, it showcases a geometric laser-cut dot pattern that draws the eye in and shimmers with movement.
