After being submersed into the depths of the ocean thanks to BBC's "Deep Blue", Vega Wang became enthralled with the discoveries technology has allowed us to make. These new found deep sea creatures instantly became the designers inspiration for her line, titled "Into the Deep". By taking glowing el panels and constructing them inside white dresses, Vega's pieces resemble those of bio luminescent jellyfish and other "mystical" creatures. So thanks to technology in marine science, Vega then applied this to technology in fashion.
She stated, "I think technology is helping to bring the handmade back."
I agree with this statement to a certain extent, but it mainly depends on the person/artist. Overall, I believe technology will only weaken the need or use of handmade in the generations to come. :(Watch the video here!
