Crystal / Addition of Time

Tong Crystal Wang: “My collection is named “Addition of Time” because I was documenting the amount of time I spent on thesis this year. I was inspired by Laurie Frick who is a data artist that documents her daily life by minute. I believe the more data, the more solid fact about myself as a young fashion designer. So this collection is a timeline from school system to my own definition of outcome. Each look represents a stage during thesis, from research process, 3D exploration, 2D technical work, portfolio, then the outcome. Different textiles symbolizes different activities, and the silhouette becomes more volumed as time goes on, because more experiences have been accumulated. “Experience” is the core of this collection, how fashion students all go through the same system, but bloomed in each own way, and this is my personal experience and time of my last year of college.”
