Visualised Perfume

My concept was to represent perfumes in forms of garments, lingerie to be specific since perfumes are worn directly on the skin, just like lingerie. I have focused on the aspect of perfumes being consisted of three classes of notes; top, middle, and base. They are represented as layers of thin fabrics, each embellished separately to represent each note. The outcome is a lingerie set which is a direct interpretation of the perfumes’ compositions.
I have chosen silk chiffon in white for the fabric since it has the transparency to show the embroidery on all three layers. It is also a good background for the embroidery in various colours. I have used bondaweb on the edges to prevent fraying instead of double-fold or binding to avoid bulkiness. The perfume example for the final piece, “Promesse” by cacharel is consisted of the following scents.
Top notes: bergamot, mandarin
Middle notes: jasmine sambac, orchid, blackberry
Base notes: amber, musk, cedar, sandalwood

Both of the cups have a tiny bead-button to hold the three layers onto the lining. It is possible to undo the button and flip each layer to see the embroidery representing the different notes.

First layer: the top note

Second layer: the middle note

Third layer: the base note

Paper art inspired dress

I have made a dress inspired by the paper cut out art, layering, and folding.


I’ve used the theme of adventure park and child’s safety.
There is a merry-go-round at the front and a big wheel at the back.
There is also a roller coaster around the hem.
I’ve used semi-transparent fabric in different colours to cut out and layer.


At the neckline, there is a pleat. I was inspired by a greeting card which had separate motifs which come together when the card is folded. When the pleat is folded, the little girl is excited and pulling her moms hand.

However, when the pleat is opened, the mother is separated
and instead, there is a stranger trying to kidnap the girl and she is trying to run away.
