This project was part of an assignment where we were asked to design exclusively in white, which meant the focus had to be on form, texture, and volume. My concept was inspired by traditional clothing from my hometown, Guatemala.The cape reinterprets the soyacal, a small garment traditionally made from raffia and used as protection against the rain. My version has two layers, with the bottom layer structured using horsehair to create a flowing hemline. The collar is exaggerated and ties at the front as a closure.The skirt takes inspiration from the tzute, a versatile piece of fabric worn differently depending on age. Younger people drape it over the shoulder, while older generations wrap it around the head. I began with looped forms and then experimented with the way horsehair could build volume, which led to layered panels that add depth and movement. This project was about merging Guatemalan heritage with contemporary exploration of form, highlighting how cultural garments can inspire new silhouettes.
