The Innovative Project is a design challenge given to Sophomore Apparel Students at The Rhode Island School of Design to create garments made out of unconventional materials. I chose to create a dress made out of coffee filters dyed in five flavors of tea. I focused on creating volume and dimension by folding, pleating, and layering the filters in various techniques. Soft color gradients were achieved through dyeing with different tea mixes. This dress was acquired by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Museum and was featured on a Fashion segment for MTV in 2003.
