ha ha here is a snap shot of my project :s
What aspects of clothing make us feel dressed?
Is it the way we put clothing on?
Is it the feel of having something against our skin?
Is it the way in which clothing covers the body?
Is it the nature of the cloth?
Garments are traditionally worn by single individuals, however in this im project exploring the possibility that garments can be designed for many people to interact within as a group. This form of clothing encourages people to come together and share a unique experience. It questions the boundaries of personal space and the way we react when there is an ‘overlapping’ of each others space.
Can a garment be considered a viable form of dress if it covers the body, is put on in a conventional way but restricts movement and is much larger than the form it covers?
We all have emotional reactions towards the clothing we wear and the environment we are within, how would we feel if we were confined to a certain space and certain actions?
This project explores the point in which personal space becomes external environment and the limitations such clothing could have on our behavior and feelings towards ‘being dressed’.
I have wonderful friends who are always willing to put on a frock and dance around for me to take photos..... thank you- love you!!
