Elemental
Art 2 Wear is a design competition hosted by North Carolina State University's Design School and College of Textiles. Each year, the competition features a different theme which student designers must consider while creating concepts. The theme for the 2015 competition was "Tell Me A Story."
These costume concepts were inspired by the "story" of the world, and were designed to reflect the elements: fire, earth, water, air, and æther.
