Summer Breif- (part 1) Explaining Metamorphosis

So I already have an idea from the start of what i want to do and closely look into for this project but i think its best that i broaden my horizon and options by looking into different areas.


So metamorphosis-
Wikipedias' explanation
Metamorphosis is a biological process by which an animal physically develops after birth or hatching, involving a conspicuous and relatively abrupt change in the animal's body structure through cell growth and differentiation. Some insects, amphibians, mollusc's, crustaceans, Cnidarians, echinoderms and tunicates undergo metamorphosis, which is usually accompanied by a change of habitat or behavior.
Scientific usage of the term is exclusive, and is not applied to general aspects of cell growth, including rapid growth spurts. References to "metamorphosis" in mammals are imprecise and only colloquial, but historically idealist ideas of transformation and monadology, as in Goethe's Metamorphosis of Plants, influenced the development of ideas of evolution.

Dictionary Explanation -
any complete change in appearance, character, circumstances,

So basically in my words-
Growth ! Evolving! Change! 


Changing into fashion -
If I had to do my project purely around metamorphosis then I could make a garment have layers such as when you move a layer there could be something under-neath to show the garment expanding into something else.
Or even by pattern like the pattern could get more interesting as an overlapping layer moves.
Or the fabric size could start small gradually getting larger.
Or for example a dress could start tight at the top gradually getting looser or visa versa.

Hmm ideas ideas!
