This bodice was created by 2nd year UTS Fashion & Textile Design student, Tess Taverner-Hanks. The title of her work was 'Aegis' - conceptually the body under protection. Tess printed onto the calico and embellished it with laser-cut perspex shapes (a repeat of the printed pattern), hand-cut acrylic fronds and very large beading components.
