One of the most standout designs at this year's [Royal College of Art Master of Arts Fashion Show](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/copenhagen-fashion-week-ss27) came from graduate designer Stefanie Tschirky, who created a [plastic dress](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-coenen-1) inspired by physics, math and chaos.

The designer began her initial research by looking into the Golden Ratio Theory, which led into an exploration of perfection and beauty from a scientific perspective with aid from the perspectives of other students in different fields. Tschirky's final design uses a combination of thread and [cling film](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-by-miraclesuit) to create a sealed "second body" to envelop the skin. Going back to the original theme, the finished design is a celebration of the perfection that can be found in chaos.

On the runway, the model wearing the cling-wrap dress was instructed to walk in a "dark and fragile" manner.
