Echoing Memories of the Firstborn is based on core, false and fractured memories of mine and my families. For the garment design I’m looking internally, based in inspired from false or forgotten memories. Whereas, through textile manipulation I will look externally, exploring the broader familial memory and relationship with our heritage.
The personal experience of coming home at a young age after a trip away to my family’s home town, and returning to the unexplainable feeling of unfamiliarity in my own house, is a core memory of mine, a memory of forgetting. I have used these fractured and false memory ideas as inspiration for the design of my look.
