redress Design Award Collection
Jasmine’s Redress Design Award collection, ‘the Cimex Coexist on Gown’, is inspired by American essayist Eileen Chang’s quote, ‘Life is a resplendent gown. Crawling with cimex.’ The collection reflects on how ‘coexistence’ is indispensable to help restore ecosystems and preserve biodiversity. Jasmine mixes and matches secondhand kimono with other unwanted garments and deadstock fabrics, adding texture with recycled gold and corn-based beading, and ‘cimex bite’ marks, emulated by holes torn on the garments. Modular designs on a skirt and jacket also allow the garments to be worn in two ways, offering versatility.
