The Floaters Of The Waterplanet

By 03-12-2015

Vera de Pont is a recent cum laude graduate from the Man & Identity department at the Design Academy Eindhoven. She is currently enrolled in a 2-year masters program, called Fashion Matters, at the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam.

‘The Floaters Of The Waterplanet’ is an imaginary world of play. Inhabitants find ways to stay adrift in a fuid surrounding. Textiles, accessories and fashion silhouettes become voluminous, lightweight, foamy and colorful. A soft, bouncy layer covers the body. Textiles becomes partly swollen and puffy. Strong knits and cords enclose the skin to prevent water from entering.

This trend forecast is visualized on the basis of three characters and is accompanied by an in-depth material sample book.
