I Feel As Mad As A Hatter

Have you ever felt like you were 'going mad' or experiencing symptoms of 'madness'? Well, thats how Shpresa Llaka felt, which is what inspired her collection "Mad As A Hatter". While Shpresa had already been exploring Alice in Wonderland as an initial subject of inspiration for her final-year fashion collection, upon sustaining a head injury as a result of falling down the stairs, she noticed that she was experiencing a variety of symptoms similar to that of the Mad Hatter, and with that, the inspiration behind this collection emerged.

The Purpose:

Shpresa expresses that through her collection, she wanted to illustrate her "madness" and her feelings through her designs. These designs are also propossed to not only potentially help Shpresa, but also others that may have or are going through the same thing. Furthermore, through use of illusion and print to illustrate the symptoms Shrpesa experienced, the wearer or those around the garments could feel the same feelings as her.

The Symptoms:

Shpresa expressed experiencing what she refers to as Déjà vu episodes where things she was doing felt familiar, like she'd done them before. This would be followed by feeling dizzy, followed by blurred vision. She also explains that if she did not remember anything before, during, or after an episode, she would forget a last memory. Shpresa explained how frustrating this was, especially when she "felt mad," when others could not understand how she was forgetting events from the previous week or year or forgetting places she had been to.

Research - Brain Scans & Lenticular Imagery:

Upon looking into brain scans, Shpresa noticed that within coloured, 3D scans, they looked like many rubber bands. Although the designer wished to try create something to represent this, upon completing dealer research, she realised that people did not understand or know how she felt or what she went through. Instead, Shpresa looked into lenticular imagery and illusions to create her collection. Ultimately, after completing further dealer research, the designer reached the conclusion that wearers did not wish for her face to be present upon the clothes, therefore, she created an illustration of herself and the Mad Hatter to make this more appealing to potential wearers.

The Stages of Madness:

Stage 1: To exhibit this, Shpresa created a high neck top to symbolise the madness slowly taking control. She also created a frayed jacket with colours bursting through, this representing the colours of brain scans. The loose threads of this jacket represent that one might be "hanging by a thread," but in contrast, the wraps and ties of the bottoms represent one trying to keep themselves together in an attempt to appear "normal,".

Stage 2: The petticoat of Shpresa's collection has two layers, one yellow, and one green. These exhibit the layers of the brain, the skirt is also "poofy," to represent loosing oneself and thus feeling out of control. Additionally, the print on the skirt is a line print of both Shrpesa and the Mad Hatter, this is, however, only visible up close, on first glance it just appears to be a plethera of lines. This was done to represent that one cannot always tell if something is wrong and that things are not always as they seem. The top for this stage is a shirt and tie, but the tie is not real, it is instead folded into the top to give the illusion of a tie, also suggesting that things are not always what they seem and that the wearer is attempting to appear "normal,".

Stage 3: For the final stage of this collection there is a top with a print of Shpresa and the Mad Hatter with lines going through, representing blurred vision. Uneven ruffles are also present, bursting from the front and back to exhibit the madness "bursting through,". The bottoms are double layered with lines going through in opposite directions. When the wearing is walking, this may make ones eyes "go funny," illustrating blurred vision and the symptoms that both Shpresa and the Mad Hatter experienced. Shpresa has indicted that this last stage of her collection possesses more purple, rather than a lot of colour. This is because a lot of colour is supposed to indicate a healthy brain, whereas the purple represents inactivity within the brain, thus displaying "madness,".

Domenica conosceremo insieme Jill Ethel Kathleen Nicholls e le sue poesie inedite, scritte durante il servizio nella Women's Auxiliary Air Force presso il Bomber Command della RAF. Grazie come sempre all'IBCC Digital Archive dell'University of Lincoln per avermi messo a disposizione questi preziosi documenti inediti che spero di riuscire a proporvi con una prospettiva precisa, umana e coerente nella loro poliedricità.
