Umbrella Skirt
Made by Victoria Yong and Lynnette Ramsay
Lynnette Ramsey + Victoria Yong We aimed to create a skirt that would rise and widen when a button on it is pressed. This skirt would allow the user to change according to comfort, as a wider skirt could feel less warm to wear in a hot climate. However, creating the full skirt was out of our scope so we made a prototype of half of the skirt and the mechanism that opened it. This let us focus on the functionality of the mechanism instead of making the aesthetically wearable full form.
