Lucy Mcrae - Body Architect

After researching artist's whose primary field is not fashion but who have created or featured in projects that touch on the area, I have found two that I am particularly inspired by. The first is a designer, Lucy Mcrae. Trained extensively in ballet and architecture, Mcrae has a deep understanding and interest in the body. Her architectural background also means she is constantly studying the rising needs of humans, this can be seen in her evolutionary designs that focus on the human body.

This bold, illuminating design links to the protective bubble of the jellyfish.

This design reminds me of a snake shedding its skin, it serves as a protecting layer.

This design differs from the others as it seems to focus on a more predatory evolution to do with speed and agility. 

This design reminded me of the spikes of porcupines and hedgehogs. These spikes can be used for protection or attack. The way the photograph has been styled suggests a more attacking focus.
