In the age of COVID-19, when necessity dictates that we migrate our lives and work online more than ever before, Central Saint Martins BA Womenswear graduate, Scarlett Yang, is streaks ahead. Already more than adept at using digital technologies to transform her creative visions, when the BA show was cancelled due to the lockdown, Yang ditched the notion of creating a physical collection, deciding instead to simulate all but one of her final designs digitally in Cinema 4D. Yet, digital expertise is not the only string to Yang’s creative bow. Guided by her strong environmental conscience, the 24-year-old designer also developed a sustainable biomaterial for her final project that responds directly to its physical environment and is able to fully biodegrade in water within 24 hours.
