For the IIDA Surrealism Couture competition, my team & I designed and constructed a dress in just one week using Sherwin-Williams’ designated color palette and provided materials. Inspired by surrealist themes, my dress design was selected & transformed the concept into an octopus cage, incorporating hula hoops to create a sculptural silhouette that defied conventional form. Rhinestones were meticulously hand-applied onto carpet threading, evoking the illusion of cascading water shimmering off the dress. The result was a bold, imaginative piece that pushed the boundaries of material use and earned recognition as Best Student Project.
