FIT (Fall 2024)
I chose Vivienne Westwood after envisioning the brand's orb logo as a three-dimensional installation. Research into its history, aesthetic, and values led to a sculpture of four stacked orbs—white, red, pink, black—each ringed like Saturn and set at a deliberate slant. Built from polymer clay and mixed materials, the piece captures the brand's signature tension between tradition and rebellion, elegance and chaos, designed to function as both an in-store installation and the centerpiece of an advertisement poster.
The process began by shaping aluminum foil into balls as a base—light but strong enough to keep the structure firm. Polymer clay was layered over the foil, making it easy to shape and detail, then molded with an ornament to achieve a smooth texture. The foil core prevented the clay from collapsing or becoming too heavy under the fine detailing of the Orb, keeping the structure solid through handling and baking.

Her boutique "SEX," co-founded with Malcolm McLaren, brought ripped fabric, safety pins, and norm-defying graphics into fashion. The 1981 "Pirate" collection pushed her into high fashion, while her advocacy for sustainability, climate action, and human rights shaped the brand's ongoing identity. Today, the label stands for creative independence and social consciousness across ready-to-wear, accessories, and fragrances.
