Colour: Resene Scampi

Resene Scampi

“Mystery, power, and luxury. I present Resene Scampi. It is a colour neither dark nor pale. Scampi; curating the stability of blue and the energy of red. A colour historically worn by royals.

Celebrating the 75th Resene Anniversary, I have designed a dress inspired by the queen of curves one of the most powerful women in the world and architect, Zaha Hadid. Her designs are known to be timeless, futuristic and effortless.

Constantly using curves to create buildings that represent strength in the most elegant way. The use of curves express fluidity, to create the feel of airflow, wind and waves.

However, the strong large structures in her designs represent the fragmented geometry which evoke the chaos and flux of the modern life we live in today. Mixing the two themes creates a juxtaposition of soft and strong exciting and calm.

Zaha Hadid received the Women of the Year award in 2010. This meant so much to her as she has grown up in an environment that dictated what she could and couldn’t do because of her gender. This award is sculptured as an eagle, which holds great importance to my heritage as shown on the Egyptian flag representing strength and power.

“Your success will not be determined by your gender or your ethnicity but only by the scope of your dreams.”

Like Zaha Hadid, a British Muslim Arab immigrant, I relate deeply to her and find true inspiration from her success. This narrative relates to the famously known Rosie the riveter from 1946. Imitating Zaha Hadid’s moods of airflow and strength from her architectural designs, I translated these ideas onto a two piece garment. A corset bringing in elements of the 1940s and straight legged pants for a modern twist. With elevated ruffles to imitate the eagle and structured shaping of the corset that represent her architecture.”
