Abstract [en]

The garments we wear are aesthetically and functionally adapted to the context in which they are to be worn, partly to meet the surroundings’ expectations and increase comfort in specific situations. By removing expectations of clothing commitments, clothes can be released and played with freely. This work examines the relationship between two areas that stand far apart from each other both in terms of time, aesthetic, and functional expectations: winter activewear and upper-class renaissance gowns. The work is motivated by the idea of questioning the distinct aesthetic that exists within the field of winter activewear by placing it with an opposite. An opposite as Renaissance dresses with a higher focus on the aesthetic expression than the functional commitment. By extracting elements from the different areas and putting them together in new constellations. The expectations were to find new uses for the actual fundamental delegation of the garments when shape, functions, details, material among others were resituated. The study started with two areas that resulted in a lineup with six looks. They all propose how one could redefine what winter activewear can be and look like by crossing it with another field.
