Work in progress // Neta Bonfil

​

Have you ever felt like the world is moving too fast and everyone is keeping up with everything and you're just falling behind?
The modern world is driven by constant pressure to keep up. As well as in the fashion industry, where trends change rapidly and there is a fear that fast fashion will take over.
When I observed the "unfinished" works from the exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum- I was fascinated by the precise finished parts, full of details in contrast to the blank canvas, allowing a glimpse into the creative process. The works led me to the art of crafts, which is expressed in the creation of items using traditional techniques, mostly by hand at a slow pace, with care and attention to details.
The collection combines archetypes known from the fast fashion world - a tank top, jeans, T-shirt, a leather jacket - with elements of haute couture. Using traditional techniques of felting, dyeing, knitting, bead embroidery and printing – I’m expressing the uniqueness of the works, and how it’s okey to take time and focus on what really matters, even if in the end we don't always manage to do everything on time.
