ABOUT 100X STRUT

“The 100 X series is *scape’s annual visual feast of 100 items transformed into artworks by talented young artists – with a twist: the 100 items must be created and auctioned off for a special cause.

Last year, *scape and a team from NTU brought together 100 visual artists to paint on100 Chairs, raising a total of S$8000 for Singapore Children’s Society.

This year (2008) the 100 X series takes on the form of 100 outfits created by 50 young fashion designers. The outfits will be auctioned off in support of the Dove Self Esteem Fund and *scape “

THE PROJECT BY JESSICA YE

The proposed project is an adaptation of 2 outfits from my Funky Town Spring/Summer 09 collection, whereby inspirations came from music genres, and how music can be an identification of one. Funky Town aims to bridge the likeness of 3 particular music genres; hiphop, nu rave and r&b into one cohesive collection by combining different elements from each genre. The result is a splash of daring colors, experimentations of psychedelic prints and manipulation of garment construction patterns.
