Natural Dye Design Pants

This project focuses on creating a pair of micro-flared pants that blend vintage aesthetics with streetwear influences. I used gradient natural dyeing—shifting from light to dark brown—to introduce a subtle aged feel and emphasize organic texture changes. Wanting to push my material exploration further, I combined rugged denim with pink metallic silk and soft lace through reverse appliqué. The layered cutting and hollowing techniques allowed the patterns to emerge with more depth and dimensionality, forming a visual dialogue between femininity and street-edge design.




PROCESS DEVELOPMENT


Despite the tight timeframe and initial pressure, this project became an exciting creative process. Through constant adjustment and experimentation, I gradually found my rhythm and completed a piece I felt strongly connected to. The technical detailing—especially managing multiple materials and constructing layered appliqué—helped me better understand how texture, cut, and craftsmanship work together to build complexity in a garment. The experience inspired me to continue exploring this design direction and refine my skills in material manipulation and structural experimentation.
