(Em)body connection

Abstract

My thesis collection focuses on the creation of adaptable clothing, which overcome functionality. The process evolves into a collaborative dialogue between body, wearer, and society, exploring themes of conformity, adaptation, and mimicry. My designs are inspired by cultural and sociological observations, challenging norms, and suggesting a reflection on conventions. Fashion acts as a powerful medium, influencing social inclusion or exclusion. This duality is reflected in the adaptability of clothing, allowing the pieces to follow along the unpredictable ride of life. Inspired by nature and its processes, the designs celebrate individuality, reshaping the act of dressing as a ritual of self-appreciation.
