Data visualisation dress maps human displacement at London’s Science Museum

Posted on by Vrising

With every piece of data out there today, there is – more often than not – a human story behind it. That’s the idea behind Dress For Our Time, an installation unveiled at the Science Museum in London that delves into the global refugee crisis and the complex matter of human displacement in a bid to change the social narrative of the topic.

Created by award-winning artist and designer, Professor Helen Storey MBE RDI (London College of Fashion, UAL Centre for Sustainable Fashion), the dress itself is a decommissioned refugee tent that once housed a family in Jordan. It was gifted to the project by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

As an early adopter I am particularly interested in the interface between fashion, technology, science and sustainability to utilise my new found knowledge. Having just completed an MA in Fashion Futures formerly known as Fashion & the Environment at the London College of Fashion. I am self motivated and love connecting with people and enjoy bringing talent together to flourish. I have a high taste level for the curated and unique that is underpinned by an approachable demeanour with a compassionate nature to facilitate well-being. I have now set up a women's wear label, designing sustainable clothing for the ageless woman. See more here: www.vivienneaustin.com
