The Red Shoes

This collection was inspired by the 1948 British film The Red Shoes, which made me rethink why women have to face the dilemma of career and family. Women need to face various dilemmas to achieve success. I used the example of ballet dancers to express that women and women artists have to face more difficulties and obstacles than men in order to achieve something.

Fashion Design

Date: April 30, 2023

The biggest challenge in this project was how to make the installation, and I chose to work with an architectural designer from the Department of Architecture to make this installation. This process was my first taste of metal cutting and metal welding. Making the installation for the first time was a new experience for me, but it also taught me many things about architecture that I hadn't been involved with before. This has inspired me for my future designs.
