Other key themes explored this year include activism and change, reclaiming of heritage and new definitions of identity.

Nostos Erda by Laura Aguilera
What is the true cost of fashion production? What kind of future are we heading to? How can fashion see nature as a partner rather than a resource? Based on the research and practice of the biomaterial designer and artist Alice Potts, Nostos Erda portrays a speculative alternative future compatible with the biosphere, situated in the reduction of resource extraction and pressure on natural cycles via the use of alternative materials and without generating any waste.

Giligili by Firda Amelia
Self-expression through personal style is still uncommon in Indonesia. Having a dedicated space is essential for it to grow, as people need a platform to share stories, be acknowledged and connect with others. Yet only a few academics or media outlets in Indonesia have raised this topic. Therefore, I decided to create giligili as a portal to showcase stories that hopefully will encourage 18 to 30 years old in Jakarta to express themselves through personal style.

Metamorphic by Jess Anderson
Metamorphic is a virtual runway film which has been created in collaboration with MA Fashion Futures Student Joshua Grice. The collection in focus, exists in both real life and in virtual space. Using a traditional weaving loom, Josh produces his work sustainably in a guilt free way utilising traditional techniques which eliminate waste from the production cycle. The virtual reproduction of the collection, created using Clo 3d and Cinema 4d, has been inspired by digital surrealism while still taking influence from the traditional weaving loom technique
