Clothes is Clothes foregrounds the essential construction of garments while exaggerating and deforming them through artificial materials, producing an uncanny tension, depicting how fashion today is losing touch with the lived, sensorial reality of the body. Yet through touch and wear, the pieces reveal themselves to be comfortable and playful.
Each garment is constructed from a single uncut square of fabric, shaped solely through stretch. Threaded elastics within mesh transform textile technology into a visible, macroscopic feature. Visualizing the construction process in 3D, the project extends beyond a static artifact to an interactive process, reconnecting the design process with embodied experience. Shape was built through the manipulation of material stretch rather than restricting or reducing, the garments remain flexible and inclusive, adapting to diverse body types.
Whenthe project popped up on the streets of NYC, people easily pulled them on and layered them over winter outerwear. The translucent white mesh functions as both veil and frame, subtly revealing and amplifying individual identity.
The collection is a fusion of the decency and elegance of suiting with the protectiveness and convenience of outerwear, targeting an audience market of those who attain a fulfilling schedule, who need decent clothes that are easy to put on and easy to move within to maximize their energy. Featuring the catered casualness with refinement in the modern urban life scene
