‘Kivnon’

My graduate collection ‘Kivnon’ is inspired by exercise, Kivnon  being the  Greek  word  for   movement. As a  young  woman who  loves  to  exercise  it  gives  me  a  sense  that  I  am  in control of my body and  it  makes  me  feel  empowered.  Exercise has always been a very important factor in my life  and  has helped  build  my confidence and  self-esteem. Exercise  has  become  a  place  of  comfort  for  me, and  the  familiar routine  of  it  helps  me  feel  at  my  best.   

For  my  collection  I focused on key movements  of the body for shape inspiration. While researching each exercise I began to focus on  muscle  movement  and stretches. The movement that I captured in each exercise was  brought into  the garments  through  padding  and  gathering, to represent  strength  and  agility. For  colour  I  was  inspired  by  old  black  and  white  sports  photography, the  simplicity  of  the  palette  also  helps  to  enhance  the  light  and  shade  within  the  shapes.
