Fashion allowed me to explore the wearer's intimate secrets, needs and desires, but also a person's crazes, fads and nervous disorders and I loved this aspect of fashion as the entire point behind my work wasn't to continuously and bulimically create, but to tackle and explore these issues also through behavioural garments. In some cases, I employed very rigid net-like fabrics that restricted the mobility of the wearer and allowed her to use only one hand. I found the idea of reducing or impairing the movement of the wearer very interesting. I also did garments that changed colour and dresses with a light fabric that featured holes or slashes so that the wearer could pull out the fabric underneath and create draped motifs or alter the shape and silhouette of her dress in many different ways. |
