Dependent form

This work explores how one can use draping as a construction method applied on garments to change the traditional shape and to create new forms. The possibility to create form by using two depending components is the foundation.

Garments are dependent mostly on the body of the wearer in first hand, one could say that this work challenges that order when the two pieces are developed being dependent on each other in first hand. Through relationships of fastening and uniting materials the collection explores the possibilities within form and volume and push the expression within the basic forms within a traditional wardrobe.
