    Siempre Frida
    (University of Management and Technology, 2018) Abira Khalid
    Title of project: SIEMPRE (always) FRIDA Tagline: I am my own muse the subject I know best. Introduction (background/inspiration): Frida Kahlo a Mexican artist, is famous for her self-portraits, pain and passion, vibrant and bold colors.

For about 200 paintings, sketches and drawings by Kahlo, life experience is a common theme. Objectives of project: The Philosophy behind Frida paintings and depiction of her expressions and rich Mexican culture will be showed through the mixture of textile techniques with 3D embellishment and woven fabric and silk tread embroideries. Plan of work: Research boards will flaunt different aspects of Frida Kahlo's life and Mexican culture which she showed through paintings. This project will comprise of series of steps starting from research on the theme, making a suitable color palette and mood board and then to general sketching of the ornaments. Making desired repeats and patterns both manually and on Photoshop. There will be some samples from which the final print will be selected. Expected outcomes: It will have different textures and colors made by mix mediums and it will give an exclusive and amazing look. It will be a great collection with up to date cutline.

    The Silicon Circuits
    (University of Management and Technology, 2018) Rafey Afzal
    The Silicon circuits are the flat boards made-up of semiconductor material silicon and Germanium, used in electronics to conduct electronic signals. The tiny transistors and diodes are attached on it with engraved line pattern for electricity. As the word is dominated by electronic technology so silicon circuits are found in every gadget which comprise electronics such as cell phones, smart watch, computers and remote controls. The pattern on silicon circuits is unique and has an amazing green texture, some blue and purple circuits are also available. This texture can be used in textile art as there is no limit in creativity. Alexander McQueen, a well-known British textile designer has once used these patterns in fashion surface design in 1998; He has used the lines on circuit boards in his apparel collection and made some unique dresses out of it, although his work was limited to only single technique which was screen printing, he simply extracted the lines pattern out of silicon boards and have set repeats of it on fabric, more techniques were not experimented at that moment. A wide range of unique motifs could be extracted which can be merged with one another to form an interesting pattern which could be printed on fabric using some experimental techniques such as foil printing, glow printing, flock printing, and some digital prints can also be made. Furthermore 3D work would be added to enhance the true essence of modern day technology with LED lights, in additional more embroidery, fabric manipulation and fabric cut work would also be used on the final products. The final end product will be some westernize 3D dresses, which would be adding the high end techno look to the final collection, which will be the future of fashion creativity, as well as will symbolize the futurism, the dresses will be made for party wear having some elegant cuts and styles which will be wear in special occasions, along with dresses some innovative accessories will also be made to carry with dresses.
