clothing display & interactive display
The concept comes from two keywords derived from Marni's style which are deconstructed and abstract as these elements are found a lot in their designs. Inspired from their patchworking designs, it is then deconstructed into simplified abstract shapes, as each surface of the shapes are transformed into a unified form. The two keywords are blended together to form the concept which is reminiscent of Marni's experimental design process of combining many different elements into one unique piece in their collection. This exhibition is to share the essence of Marni and their creativity to the public which is full of imagination, vivid colours and materials.
