Fashion Collection ‘MOTUS’. Emotional Impulses in Fashion Creation: An Autoethnographic Approach.
Vilnius Academy of Arts
Assoc. prof Jolanta Talaikytė
MOTUS is an evening-wear collection born from emotional impulses arising through personal conversations. With an autoethnographic approach, I explored how these inner experiences shape my creative thinking and evolve into artistic expressions through form, materiality, construction, and movement. Three autoethnographic essays became the foundation for six looks, in which emotional states are translated through the relationship between garment and body. The collection unfolds from light, ethereal silhouettes towards structured black forms, tracing an emotional progression from the emergence of inner space and flow to determination, inner strength, and the acceptance of one’s own truth.
