Sit back and watch what´s growing!
The textile skin of humans has always a mission and a special function. It should be warming and -please- adorne us, too. But isn´t it too easy- to summarise the function of garements in theese few words- isn´t there more to it?
Whenever people dress themselves with a textile skin- and however they do it- they put on a message as well. A soundless message- but it´s constantly arround them.
"One cannot not communicate."-how Paul Watzlawick wrote in his book "The Pragmatics of Human Communication". People above, below, and all around in public life pay attention to the words other people speak or choose not to speak. They are also paying attention to the clothes someone wears, the haircut people choose or the way they combine all theese small components to an overall picture. They note your attitude and the resonance or dissonance your attitude has relative to your words and actions.The Garement people wear is an importent component of the soundless communication, indeed.
During the following weeks this blog will take an intensive view on the development process of a garment piece. This piece should include two functions; the soundless message to the public and, as well, a technical function solved without a sad agreement at the expense of design.
Experience it live and in colorfull pictures while the project evolves!
