# Project Description Beatrice Fort-Schaale Beatrice Fort-Schaale Summary Final work I am a British-German designer with a background in law and science, which has shaped my approach to fashion with a deep appreciation for precision, structure, and methodical thinking. My designs often explore transformation—both physical and conceptual—bringing greater depth and intrigue through unexpected, ever-changing elements. I draw inspiration from historical events and cultural shifts, aiming to evoke emotion and challenge conventions. At LCF Womenswear, I look forward to refining my technical skills to push my creative practice further.

College School of Pre-Degree Studies Course UAL Foundation Diploma in Art and Design Graduation year 2025 This project takes inspiration from the early 20th century—an era just before the rise of digital technology, when leisure was rooted in community, care, and craft. Pastimes like needlework and card games offered not only enjoyment but purpose and connection. They reflected a slower, more intentional way of living—something I believe we’ve lost in today’s screen-driven world. Drawing from campaigns like ‘Make Do and Mend’ and ‘Knit for Victory,’ I explored the resilience and emotional depth embedded in these practices. Through collage, drawing, and experimental textile work, I developed pieces that celebrate both their visible aesthetics and their quieter, more hidden layers—like the concealment of emotion in a game of poker or the silent pride in repairing something by hand. My outcomes include two garments that embody modularity, repairability, and transformation. The first dress is composed of hundreds of laser-cut interlocking pieces, assembled entirely without glue, allowing each element to be removed, repaired, or replaced without disrupting the structure. The other features a skirt made from slotting plywood segments that can be added to or subtracted from, creating an evolving silhouette that adapts to the wearer and emphasises the unique relationship between wearer and garment.
