Coral Bleaching

Category: Apparel

Competitions: Fashion Competition [Now Closed]

My project is inspired by coral and coral reefs. More specifically I will be focusing on environmental issues involving coral such as coral bleaching as well as the differences between corals in their original colours and during the process of bleaching. Coral bleaching is currently a key environmental issue that is prominent in many of our oceans and seas. A notable example is The Great Barrier Reef. I will also be focusing on the shapes of coral and coral reefs. My final outcome will be a garment, more specifically a shrug styled top combining all aspects of my research from shapes and silhouettes to colours.

Working with our partners at Arts Thread to develop lifelong learning and career opportunities for students of fashion and design. Our partnership provides the opportunity to compete on a world stage, participate in industry led workshops, set up an outstanding portfolio and gain access to the resources that will kickstart careers in fashion and design.
