Dual Power Suit

SCEGGS Redlands

Nina Casey-Brown


"The ‘Dual Power Suit’ explores the philosophy of Yin and Yang and its principles of balance and opposition by deconstructing and reimagining the traditional suit."

Images of Work

"The folded manipulation on the jacket back is from a self-drafted pattern and constructed with sateen suiting, a strong fibre blend able to support the structured shape. The diagonal direction created from the panels and triangular cutouts mirrors the angular shape of the pant and sleeve godets, increasing the work's cohesiveness."

"The triaxial hand weaving made from satin bias binding was placed inside the godets to create a three-dimensional illusion in contrast to the simplicity of the plain black and white suiting. This design was inspired by the geometric patterns which can often be found on suit ties."

Select Student Folio Pages

The pages selected for each project reflect the individual students' interpretations of the syllabus guidelines for the MTP. Each student should develop their folio according to the guidelines, relating to their own individual project. This may result in a variety of presentation styles, numbers of sketches and/or experiments.
