Jennifer Ann Gilpin
Jennifer Ann Gilpin is a limited collection of carefully crafted garments founded in both geometry and ecology. The designer has set out on a prolonged study of geometric principals and how they relate to the body through clothing. Beginning with the rectangle, triangle, and infinity shapes, then landing on the golden mean and Fibonacci. While using these principals as a foundation for the structure of the garments, she explores the shapes and silhouettes that relate to our time, and social identity. Means of production, materials, and processes are all considered for minimal wastage, and impact. The use of local materials and labor, along with the use of natural, and ecological fibers are integral.
