Beyond Borders - Dazed x BFC Competition


BEYOND BORDERS BRIEF: DESIGN
Explore the notion of ‘Beyond Borders’ uniting with the storytelling of Dazed Autumn 2023
September issue, which allows the opportunity to bring personal experience and inspiration
together in a melting pot of creativity, reflecting the multicultural essence of creative
communities.
Using this as the central theme, working as a designer, produce an outcome that fulfils your own
interpretation of ‘Beyond Borders’. Use your own identity and personal experiences to inform
your work. Ideas presented should feel distinct and personal; will your work centre around a
muse? Or will this take a more cerebral approach? Consider what makes your work and idea of
‘Beyond Borders’ unique.
For the project, you have been granted access to the Digital Dazed Media Archive, featuring
digital Dazed magazines on Exact Editions containing both archived and new content which you
can use as a research resource. Select the “library card” option in the top right-hand corner.
Use login code 453672 to access the archive HERE.
Your project should include:
•A capsule collection consisting of 6 full looks (drawn or digitally rendered in a final line up).
•A strong narrative that explores the theme. Your proposal should take us through your thinking,
documenting your inspiration and introduce us to your idea.
•Research should inform colour, fabric, print, details and silhouette. Leading to a collection with
a balanced range that includes different types of garments such as tailoring, knit, denim etc.
Consider textile development, fabrication techniques and desirability of your pieces.
•The research should also inspire how the collection is presented, from the project portfolio,
mood boards, to the shoot idea and casting etc.

Taking forward our concept based on the picture layering photographic technique called Double Exposure. I decided to overlay the main silhouettes that ruled over the forties: military garment with a focus on british women's uniforms ( WAAF )and Dior's Corolle (New Look) collection.

This collection is a tribute to my country Guiana.
Constantly being subjected to negative stereotypes with harmful consequences to the land and its people. I choose to reveal to the world Guiana’s beauty through the use of the emerald tree boa (local species) as a symbolic representation along with the inclusion cultural heritages from its three main ethnic groups.
Much like the snake perceived in a negative light Guiana will go through evolution stages creating a parallel between the ontogenetic, shedding phases of the boa, and the introduction of each cultural element.

The silhouettes in this project were developed from the boa's body shapes and movements, whilst details and embellishments originate from the Native Americans’, Maroons’ and Creoles’ traditional practices.
Indeed, the Native Americans’ basketweaving prowess and accessories making is an area of focus in the project. The patterns embedded in their crafts such as ‘Okoyu’ ‘(Kali’na tribe) and ‘Datka gama’ (Palikur tribe) respectively representing a snake and the skin of a boa, are a constant in this collection as embellishment/texture components.
The lost practice of scarification by the Maroons named 'Kokoti' meaning 'beauty' is also analysed and developed into a form of embellishment.
Lastly, the delicate handcrafted gold jewelry and their significance in Creoles’ traditions is implemented through styling choice.

This S/S collection took inspiration from traditional practices of Maroon tribes of Guiana. Their communicative art known as Tembé is intricately infused with various moiré patterns to be included as a print element in the project.Guiana is the home of a vast amount of people from different ethnicities and/or nationalities. Recently, due to socio-political reasons, tensions between groups have been slowly emerging. In an attempt at reconciliation, this collection named DAЇ ATI revolves around the following three words : Solidarity, Discussion, Friendship and their Tembé symbolics.
