Design Strategy
For this project, we selected a story based on a woman who manages a sewing boutique and leads a regular existence—maybe a bit too plain for her tastes. An event unfolds, and a life-changing decision is taken out of her hands. It is in the aftermath of this event that makes her realise that embracing an ordinary life may not be as undesirable as it seemed.
The concept for the title sequence focuses on beautiful and precise sewing scenes, showcasing the character's perfectionist nature. Following these seemingly effortless scenes, the revelation of the dress takes an unexpected turn, symbolising the life-changing event that could alter the course of her life completely.
