An exploration of self-care through clothing. How can vestimentary proposals influence, sensitize, and stimulate the sense of wellbeing, or—more generally—the body-feeling of the wearer?

Design proposals and experiments which explicitly integrate bodily forms or elements and human features. The fusing of body and object. Things take on form.

Movement as the central element in dealing with the body. From bodily experience as a design method, movement studies as triggers, to specific performative moments in the representation of designs.

Conscious and unconscious body and beauty ideals inform a design. How can normative ideas be challenged and broken through and new images developed?

Developing and generating ideas through dialog within a valuable community. Forging relationships. Cultivating networks. In what kind of environment can creativity flourish? What are participative and collaborative concepts? What shared moments does Doing Fashion shape? How can we do fashion together?

From the skin as a membrane via which we come into contact with the outside world, through to the development of explicitly tactile surfaces. Textile experiments which animate one to grasp them. Artisanry within which the designer’s manual labor and physical actions are inscribed.
