Obscura

Beckmans College of Design
A fashion collection inspired by analogue photographic processes, where imperfection, time, and transformation shape materials, patterns, and silhouettes into a poetic expression. The collection explores the relationship between imperfection and perfection. Drawing on the uncertain process of analogue photography and the image’s gradual emergence, the work develops into a collection of six looks in which change and transience are made visible. Through experiments with materials, layering, and manipulation, light leaks, fading, and exposures are translated into material, pattern, and silhouette. Imperfections are highlighted as aesthetic qualities, with the garments existing in a subtle in-between state – balancing protection and exposure.
