Abstract
Mandarin is a small attractive and colorful fish, which has a beautiful texture of orange wavy lines with bright blue background. Although it has yellow, purple and green color but blue and orange is the extent color of fish, which make her more attractive. It has highly reclusive nature but sometimes seen perched. They swim very fast with their fins. It has unusual shape with a broad head but it is very small about six to seven cm.
A concept behind this project is to depict the essence of the sea creature. It has very bright and vibrant colors, which made her more, and more attractive. It has very beautiful textures with orange wavy lines, which make her different from other fishes. The pattern is extremely different it seems like someone draw very beautiful random wavy lines on her body, which attracts the human eyes. It is the only fish, which has no scale on her body it, has its own colorful textures. The blue hued color in her body tends to elaborate optical illusion to brighten the body. It has many layers of colorless crystals in her skin, which reflect blue color back at the looker, which make her more attractive because of his blue reflection. Mandarin is not relay on optical illusion. In fact, there are only two species in the world that produces its own coloring called cyanophores. Mandarin fish had a very beautiful contrast of the blue and orange applique.
My focus on see-through fabrics and on embellishments because I made couture dresses so the key silhouettes reference are haute couture 2018 and experimental cut lines with the layers of pure fabrics attached showing the colorful relation with pattern and design on its body. I try to make layers of different fabric to show the reflection of colors, which make my dresses more attractive. .Texture and colors of the fish is huge source of inspiration. Therefore, the focus isĀ¬ on blue and orange. Blue is the base color of my dresses and I used darker tone of blue, orange and yellow embroidery on it to make it brighter and beautiful like mandarin. The textile surfaces are a mixture of colors and design, design is taken out from the fish textures, used different techniques of printing, and made different colorful digital prints. Digitally printed and embroidered fabric surfaces not only enhance the subject matter but also give the garment a new dimension of style.
