PLAY: A COLLECTION OF DAILY WEARABLES THAT AID IN A PLAYFUL MINDSET THROUGH EMOTION AND FUNCTION

WE SHOULD PLAY MORE.

With this collection, I implement modes of play into everyday clothing that aim to inspire confidence.

I focused on two things to create confidence in clothing: space and autonomy. Autonomy comes from the personalization and affordances within the intersections of body, garment and environment. I made garments that highlight ownership of the space the wearer embodies.

My construction goals fit into two key categories: emotion and function. The emotions of play include color, form, material, sound, and feelings. The functional elements are what the garments afford the wearer in interactions with their body, mind and environment.
