Homebound going places: dressing through objects

Abstract [en]

This work is closely related to the idea of thinking outside the box as design is often referred to do. By questioning the definition of something one can challenge the meaning of that particular object, and what it might become. The aim of this work is to explore dressing through objects to generate alternative ways to construct fashion. By using objects as the starting point for ideas and construction this work wants to find something new by investigating something real, such as the objects themselves. The alternative ways on how to construct fashion could also be seen in how fashion is created based on an object instead of the body. The body comes secondary in the process of construction. The result shows upon different perspectives on how objects are made to perform something they normally don’t. This is done to push what fashion could be and to find new ideas, solutions and expressions within fashion.
