these ones are a little bit voyeuristic, with some sort of allowence, obviously, from the models, to be seen.. I took them on the webcam of my mactop..
the garments become rather personified in these shots, i think there is a bit of a "we are creepers" feeling coming from the models, a little bit inspired by that junior boys video perhaps?! Interestingly, you could reflect the way these full body garments, covering majority of the body, give out more of a disfigured persona, the the way people put on facades in every-day dress… The assumptions that come with wearing a suit "i am powerful" "i work" "i have money" all because of this covering.. what assumptions can we create as designers? really.. we are simply marketing how people should look, how they will be percieved… i often dont feel like myself in my own attire, often i think, what i am wearing now, will render who i am to a complete stranger, atleast until the next outfit… These garments, clothes, de-personify the person by having their own personality…
Couple of close shots… low-res detailing
There are about 3 full rolls of film i'm getting developed… but i believe this blog will be ending and being marked tomorrow… so they will be going into the folio
These photos will be used in my book, in a section on utility and mundanity.
maybe a small poster too :)
