Underwear primarily serves five different purposes; to hide body parts that should not be on show, to protect the outergarments from bodily fluids, to keep warm and to look aesthetically pleasing. Even though one of the functions of underwear is to be aesthetically pleasing, it is still generally not suppose to be on show, but to be covered with outergarments. This work aims to challenge the way we look at underwear and outerwear as two separate categories of dress and why underwear is usually seen as something that is reserved for the intimate sphere and is so strongly linked to sexuality.

Through working with different clashes between underwear and outerwear, this work presents suggestions of how underwear and outerwear can be merged and worn together, examples of how underwear can be showed off instead of hidden and shows new ideas and expressions for the outer- and undergarments that has been explored. Furthermore, when looking at the collection as a whole, as well as each look individually, it presents a material- and color exploration, where their traditional usage has been both challenged and highlighted.
