002 VIVIENNE WESTWOOD












Spatial Design 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.



24x36 POSTER                            pdf
                                  physical




























Inspiration: 

SOLASTALGIA by Bea Fremderman. I chose this artist's work for the zine because it directly visualizes the project's core issue: textile waste accumulating in landfills, synthetic fabrics that never fully decompose. The imagery reinforces the research findings: our clothing doesn't disappear; it piles up.

The hand-drawn postcard ties the project's data, using real colored threads as a visual key for textile pollution statistics—tactile and immediate rather than purely typographic—each thread color mapped to a different data point, giving the information physical weight.
