DESIGN STATEMENT:
Inspired by the fluid, organic forms of Zaha Hadid's futuristic architecture, Amani embarked on the creation of her Cybera collection. By experimenting with draping and collage techniques, she began to play with silhouette and form. This exploration led her to delve into the manipulation of lines, which she translated into intricate fabric manipulation and quilting techniques. The result is a collection of structural yet fluid garments, including a striking jumpsuit with a prominent, wave-like silhouette. This piece, along with other structural elements, embodies the intersection of organic and futuristic aesthetics, reflecting the designer's unique vision.
