A designer I've always had a fascination with is Nancy Tilbury. Tilbury is a pioneer in the world of fashion and textiles, pushing the boundaries in accepted thoughts of what defines a textile and how the field will evolve with technology. Tilbury that believes in the modern age it is paramount that fashion/textiles develop with it, and she envisions a future where apparel will be an ephemeral and effortless experience. Her work focuses on the relationship between what is digital and what is physical. Her work explores ideas of digital skin being able to grow at our will from our bodies, giving us the ability to change our appearance with digital impulses or ingestion of reactive chemicals which change the texture, colour and shape of our skin. The picture above depict how genetics could one day be engineered to develop foot wear or jewellery. I am inspired by her way of considering the body and the materials used as one combined unit. These depictions are beautifully thought out and excited me to try out projection, liquids and latex in my own work.
