This kinetic bespoke beaded dress was inspired by the movement of ocean-life studied at the Lost Chambers Aquarium at the Atlantis, in Dubai. Drawings were produced using the build up of pigment to create interesting textures and patterns. Using the drawings to suggest textile techniques and materials the idea of encasing beads within fabric was arrived at. As the wearer’s body moves so do the trapped beads creating this beautiful visual movement of colour.
