THESIS DEVELOPMENT: EARLY PHASES

EXPLORATION 01

STUDY OF KURDISH TEXTILES THROUGH FABRIC, EMBELLISHMENT & MEMORY

These prototypes were actually from a few semesters ago, I just kept developing on the same concept till my thesis, from many muslins fittings to denim.

WITHIN THE WORKS

JEANPLACMENT

These spreads were the true moments from the reassignment process, where an unzipped skirt opens into a new structure and silhouette. All it took was wearing a skirt wrong.

This is the real stage—prototypes become garments.

Process → Final Looks

Displaced trouser → dress
Fly + waistband reoriented
Unzips to pocket

Selective boning
Soft vs structure

100+ zipper heads
Drilled + hand-sewn

Pant leg
becomes sleeves

Overscaled J-stitch as structure
Displaced trouser rebuilt on body
Function stays active

Trouser upper reoriented
Fly becomes closure line
Off-axis construction

Bodice with the pants

Zipper heads as a drape
Inspired by belly dancing beads. Weight creates pull + movement
Industrial → ornamental

MY GOLDEN KURDISTAN
Nothing here is a study.
