In the thesis titled Developing a fashion collection and textile installation AJDEK inspired by childhood memories, I presented the whole process, from inspiration to the stage of final design and articulation of textile installation and fashion collection. The purpose of my master’s thesis was to design a collection of textiles that I have formed into a tex- tile installation. During the process of developing the installation, I have enhanced my master’s thesis with the designing of a contemporary women’s collection of clothing and accessories, which intertwines the experimental and pret-a-porter concept.
In the theoretical part, I have explored the psychological and philosophical aspects of memories. I have researched how memories define and shape individuals and revealed these insights on my own example. I have also presented how feelings and memories affect creativity and human perception of art and textiles. This is followed by the pres- entation of Installation; part of conceptual art. I have also presented contemporary art- ists and designers that are working with textiles.
In the experimental part, I presented the inspiration and process of forming the textiles. This is followed by a detailed description of materials and technology. In the final stage of the experimental practice, I presented the textile installation layout which is formed of three sets. All of those are presented in details and so is the purpose of each set and element in the installation. I have also presented the process of designing a female fashion collection, from initial inspiration to final garments.
The final result of the master’s thesis is, therefore, an art installation, accompanied by a capsule collection of clothes.
