Make Friends with UFOs: Unfinished Objects

Make Friends with UFOs: Unfinished Objects by Nolla Yuan
Make Friends with UFOs: Unfinished Objects
Artist Nolla Yuan
The title of Nolla Yuan's 2011 womenswear collection, Make Friends with UFOs: Unfinished Objects, is inspired by the fact that no philosophical idea is ever completely finished, thus even the finished objects still have infinite possibilities. Yuan dyes silk using colors extracted from a plant, fruit or vegetable and laser cuts lace patterns into leather. She combines this idea of going back to the past to nature with technological advancements by embellishing el wires into the garments, so they glow in the dark.

More about RACK: An Experimental Fashion Event 2011

RACK presents bodies of work pushing the boundaries of fashion and costume with performance and sound. Participating artists explore the relationship between culture and the body through originally designed and constructed garments. The annual Experimental Fashion Event is a capstone for students in MICA’s experimental fashion concentration within the Fiber Department. Members of the Multi Media Event class work together for two semesters designing and crafting their own body of work, while working collaboratively to produce a live show. Students present their innovative fashion and costume designs through visually stunning live performances and projected video. The evening will involve more than 150 people—from designers to performers, roving costumed characters, and musicians.
