DISTORTION

  • Rachel Balisa

In my fashion design thesis from the Fashion Institute of Technology, I created a look to visually reflect a personal exploration of identity and self-expression.

By distorting the form of the body and juxtaposing free movement with confinement, the poncho and skirt evoke the dichotomy of free self-expression and concealment.
Check out my interview at Original Magazine for more about this piece and the symbolism behind it.
