Futuristic Silhouettes Inspired by Human Adaptation

This September, Redress Design Award 2012 People’s Award winner and 2017 Alumni Prize winner Angus Tsui showcased his newest A/W2020 collection, ‘•••• - - - - - •’, meaning ‘home’ in Morse code, on a ‘phygital’ runway at CENTRESTAGE, Asia’s fashion spotlight. His virtual show tells the story set in the year 2120, where Planet Earth is facing mass extinction and destruction events due to severe environmental pollution, a shortage of resources and overpopulation. A planet capable of supporting terrestrial life, Origin-7, has been found and becomes a new destination for human colonisation, where they send out the message ‘•••• - - - - - •’ to welcome other space refugees, and evolve together to create a true home for all species. Watch the presentation here.

Angus’s new collection is inspired by current trends in customisation. Items are created with the same pattern and silhouette so that every garment is interchangeable for longevity. Components of the garments such as sleeves can also be rearranged - eliminating the limitations of seasonality. The collection is made from part up-cycled, part natural materials.
