In
this round, the designers were allowed to see someone
important to them in order to design a fabric pattern inspired by their
heritage. The pattern would be used to create a look, and had to make up
at least 50% of the design.

ABOUT MY DESIGN
The textile pattern is a clock face made up of keys and keyholes,
surrounded by a maze and walls. It represents how much I've struggled
from day to day with both my art and life. For every obstacle I
overcome, there's another wall and even less time; every time I think
I'm happy with how far I've come, I just realize that I still am not in a
good place. From a distance, the pattern
will seem basic and simple, but when you get up close, you can see all
the details (showing how people assume that I'm always calm and not
bothered by things, but in reality, I stress over and regret every
little thing).
For the actual dress, I thought about doing a hood to represent the part of me that always wants to hide from things, but in the end, it distracted from what I wanted to achieve here. The shape of the panels are supposed to mimic pages of a book (which symbolizes many, many things about me), and the colors and general look of the pattern link in my Polish ancestry.
