Through creative expressions of stream of consciousness, Kit Looi’s practice aims to subject itself to formal practices of fashion design. The concept of quality is redefined, interrogating traditional conventions of handcraft specific to domains of tailoring and drape. Focus from production standards to a precedence of experimental and constructive design is emphasised efforting to engage audiences which are thoughtful to historical and social implications of traditional techniques and archetypes. Through non-linear and unpredictable design processes, working through iterations means designs are never fully divorced from each other allowing for information from past, present, and future to strengthen durability of designs. In revelation of process through product, the garments aim to intentionally show evidence of artistic decision.
