Clothed in Chaos

Shearwater, the Mullumbimby Steiner School

Gypsy Hunter


"'Clothed in Chaos' was inspired by the Royal Stewart tartan, and it's design features were chosen based on a reinterpretion of historical garments of significance and prejudice in the subculture of the 1970s punk movement."

Images of Work

"I implemented innovative manufacturing strategies while working with difficult materials, such as using baking paper when sewing the PVC leather together which helped avoid the PVC leather from sticking and twisting. This manufacturing technique contributed greatly to my successful production of the garments and the accomplishment of sewing together bonded and woven fabrics."

"I applied two rows of red top stitching to the jacket and skirt with the intention of adding consistency to the colour pallet of reds and blacks, highlighting the Royal Stewart tartan, as well as to achieve a professional, cleaner finish and well executed ensemble."

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.
