The reoccurring concept of 'the circle' has been subconsciously appearing in the form of my work. Whether it be subtle or overtly clear its simple outline has become a part of my design aesthetic through experimentation. Initiated during our legging deformation through the addition of a spherical three-dimensional structure such as a rubber bouncy ball created my awareness for its potential dominance. Its smooth, effortless profile lends itself to the world stretch, with its clinging, contouring aesthetic. As I had previously set myself the challenge to abandon my natural instinct of the asymmetrical kind, the figure of a equally proportioned circle has guided me towards balanced perfect within a garment.
A circle is a simple shape of euclidean geometry, consisting of those points in a plane which are equidistant from a given point called the centre. The common distance of the points of a circle from its centre is called its radius. Circles are simple closed curves, which provide the plane into two regions, an interior and an exterior. In everyday use, the term "circle" may be used interchangeably to refer to either the boundary of the figure or the whole figure including its interior.
