DILÊ MN

In the delicate symphony of life, where melody meets emotion, I draw inspiration from the harp—a timeless instrument that weaves ethereal and divine sounds into the fabric of our souls.

In this collection, I aim to evoke the harmonious connection between the harp and music, notes cascading on bodies like lines. Each garment embodies the grace, resilience, and emotional depth reflected in the delicate strings of the harp. Fabrics cascade like cascading notes, colors harmonize like a celestial chord, and details resonate like the subtle vibrations of a plucked string.

These spreads from my design journal explore Arc 1, "Melancholy," where I experimented with draping and ruching to evoke depth and introspection. Each arc uses distinct techniques; here, I focused on fabric manipulations, texture exploration, and sketches.

This spread from my design journal explores Arc 2, "Harps Abstraction," which builds on the emotional depth of the first arc. Inspired by the harp's fluidity, I used sculptural shapes and textured fabric manipulations to capture its emotional essence, blending structure with movement.

This spread from my design journal explores Arc 3, "Celestial Chords." Inspired by the harp's lines and cords, I focused on linear designs, structured silhouettes, and intricate detailing to reflect celestial harmony and movement.
