This portfolio piece was created for the competition portion of the Fall 2022 Circular Fashion Expo. I was prompted to create a look made from as much recycled material as possible. The Fashion show took place on Halloween weekend so I wanted to make a Halloween inspired piece! 

What goes best with Halloween? Candy!!! Of course I had to create a candy inspired piece for a Halloween weekend show. I started off by creating candy resin molds made from extra resin I had from a previous project. I then decided I wanted the resin molds to link together to make the dress form. After looking around the Idea store, I found clear acrylic sheets I later laser cut to make a platform for the resin molds. This allowed me to glue the resin molds onto the acrylic platforms and  link each piece together. I then chose to use some extra marathon blankets my teacher had laying around the classroom for underneath the candy set and as the dress trail.
