An exhibition of contemporary kurtas, hand-embroidered and collaboratively designed by FIT Textile/Surface Design students and Fashion Design students from Pearl Academy, India, with an installation by N'Ketiah Brakohiapa, a textile artist and FIT alum, taking inspiration from his native Ghana. Using traditional hand-printed techniques and a range of colors and patterns, Brakohiapa's cloths and garments speak to a very long tradition of textile design that is more than just fashion. Brakohiapa's designs are rich in symbolism and expert in their execution.

MR. OTTER

"CUBISM" is inspired by the cubism of Picasso. I designed my rug to be the centerpiece in a hotel or art gallery. Playing with the idea of deconstruction and multi-dimensional recomposition, I applied bold colors to show my admiration for Picasso's artwork. My rug is made of 100% wool and aims to evoke a luxurious boldness. "Cat in the Milky Way" was inspired by outer space and cats. Cats traveling in space will be the design on a beach towel. The design aims to create a sense of people playing on the beach, as happy as a cat. "MR. OTTER" was inspired by pop art; my rug design is meant to be an eye-catching moment in a game room. Made of 100% wool, such a rug aims to evoke a luxurious boldness. I will incorporate medium cut and low cut to achieve a flat and smooth surface.

"Tools Touch Tradition" is inspired by African artisan techniques and textiles. This design will inspire consumers to embrace their cultures again and realize the importance of sharing traditions. It includes earth tones, such as turmeric yellow and spiced umber, creating an inviting color palette that reflects African textiles and handicrafts. "Petra" exemplifies an intriguing variety of intricate and elevated geometric shapes inspired by Petra's architecture. I was inspired by Jordanian women's fashion and how their clothing consists of different geometric prints. I gravitated toward the subtle earth-toned colors, such as red ochre, gold, desert beige, and black, as well as vibrant jewel tones, such as teal and orange. My jacquard design, titled "Rhythm & Blues," is inspired by an African painter named Francois Thango. The color palette consists of beet burgundy and metallic gold. My collection is inspired by his geometric motifs and colors that were incorporated into his designs.

Making illustrations is about telling stories about how I personally interpret the world using visuals. I appreciate the beauty of maximalism, so each collection is designed with colored pencils, graphite, and gouache in a detailed manner. "Tomato Princess" is a time capsule collection inspired by my old work, named "Tomato Princess in Salad World." It is bedding designed for a tomato princess, a young, playful girl. Playful and squiggly motifs inspired by salad and tomatoes were used with red and green palettes. "Regal" is a home furnishing collection designed for women ages 20 - 30 who are culturally sophisticated and passionate about expressing themselves through their rooms. I filled classical European shapes with traditional Korean motifs. "Rococo Angel" is a jacquard fabric inspired by the angel statue combined with a rococo-styled flower wreath. It is designed for upscale residential areas as an accent decor item using classical art combined with graphic art.
