Abstract [en]

A personal investigation regarding how two different cultural perspectives coexist presented as an inverted identity with the means of dress. Through time and space has fashion always embodied our social behaviour, changing, adapting and becoming the future. Coexisting with culture, diffusing or enhancing hierarchies with archetypes. Works with contrasting perspectives within fashion design has proven to be diverse but few discuss the dynamics and effect within the same visual frame. The method investigates if figure and ground space can become an alternative appliance to enable different perspectives to be visualised and communicated inform of garments. Becoming a frame for the recipe in order to subject two garment groups to claim space/form under the supremacy of coexistence in one outfit. Furthermore does the practical exercise of the method exist of tracing silhouette of western/european archetypical garments with spray paint. Thereupon is the stencil of figure space cut out, leaving the ground space to be investigated with latinamerican archetypes in relation to the body. The contours becomes guidelines for where the meetings between archetypes are being set. Investigations of color, pattern, texture, and detail from each garment group are trialed with these silhouettes as well, in order to enhance the spatial relation between each archetype. Perception deals with our way of seeing, therefore with two different cultural archetypes under the effect of figure and ground space opens a perspective and a possibility to switch the dominance between these archetypes. Thus the design method may give the beholder the possibility to view both garment groups under the same conditions, or at the very least reflect over the perspective that one have.
