### **Title: "Compact Aura" by Adda Barrios**
In "Compact Aura," Adda Barrios delves into the sleek, futuristic allure of the Compact Disc (CD), a medium that revolutionized the way the world consumed media. This avant-garde fashion piece transforms the minimalistic yet iridescent beauty of CDs into a bold, modern garment that reflects the fusion of technology and art.
#### **Concept Description:**
- **Bodice:** The bodice is constructed from a high-gloss, holographic fabric that captures and reflects light in the same way a CD does when it spins. This fabric shifts colors with movement, transitioning through a spectrum of cool blues, purples, and silvers, echoing the shimmering surface of a Compact Disc. The bodice is sculpted into a structured, asymmetrical design with sharp angles, mimicking the geometric precision of a CD's form. Along the neckline and down one side, a series of embedded LED lights pulse rhythmically, simulating the data readout of a CD player.
- **Skirt:** The skirt is a cascading waterfall of circular discs, each representing a CD, made from thin, reflective material. These discs vary in size, creating a layered effect that resembles the concentric circles of data encoded on a CD. As the wearer moves, the discs sway and catch the light, creating a dazzling, kinetic display. The discs are printed with abstract patterns reminiscent of digital data, blending seamlessly into the overall theme of digital storage and the transition from physical to digital media.
- **Sleeves:** The sleeves are long, semi-transparent, and made from a sheer, iridescent fabric that mirrors the shimmering quality of the bodice. They flare out dramatically from the elbow, with the lower portion adorned with small, holographic CD fragments that catch the light and reflect it in prismatic patterns. The cuffs of the sleeves are wide, with embedded mini-discs that rotate slowly, creating a mesmerizing, hypnotic effect.
- **Accessories:** The headpiece is a large, circular disc resembling an oversized CD, worn flat h
