The Morpholision (Morphology + Vision) bag collection is inspired by forms of nature and sonobe – a Japanese paper folding method. Designed by Si Kim (a graduate of London College of Fashion), the collection is a gorgeous mélange of polyhedral forms resembling sea creatures.
In Si Kim’s words:
Personal/design background:
“I come from a fine art background, having studied many forms of art from a very young age. After my fine art degree i went on to study a design management Masters, and worked as a Graphic designer for 2 years. I then went on to do the MA in fashion artifact.”
Describe your collection, and what are the inspirations behind it:
“My collection was inspired by the different shapes present in nature, like for example the swirling shape of a seashell with its intricate pattern and texture. Or the fine detail in the eye of an insect, or the pattern left by the wind on the desert sand. All these things we see, but not necessarily pay any attention to the continuity and the flow of these patterns. And then the stark contrast between that and the hard lines and angles in geometry and man made structures. My collection is influenced by contemporary art, but also by some traditional art forms such as origami.”
