Shaping the Rigid
- Designer: Adrianna Chmielewska
Student project
Shaping the Rigid
The collection of structured handbags is inspired by the characteristics of a fictional persona based on Yellow Dock. The design focuses on construction and texture. The smocking technique applied to the material gives each handbag rigidity, while the raw, unfinished edges gradually alter its appearance, creating the impression that the handbag is "alive." The smocking technique and raw edges align with the slogan "shaping the rigid." Each handbag is made from recycled materials and hand-dyed, adding to their uniqueness and eco-friendly nature.
