The eight outfits feminine collection developed as master thesis at Reutlingen University is based in the actual social trend Cocooning. The concept of Private Space has its start point in the somewhat complicated between a commercially significant trend or stay-at-home life and free brave unexpected life with the motto “Get out of
your comfort zone!” It is a conflict between what we wish to have and what we can do for it. Can we? - or do we want to destroy our cocoon? Is the cocoon our shelter or our cage?
The re-design features a fully ergonomic «cocooning» construction, based on a human body in the different positions. Due to the life in cocoon people bend their body and wear the clothes which match to the particular position. It features a courageous tailoring which allows the clothes to morph into a sitting or laying positions when required.
The looks seemed very spontaneously put together, making the garments wearable. This accessibility is purposely broken by very dramatic headpieces which are crocheted of colourful threads. These headpieces vary from looking like cocoon’s threads of row silk. Materials range from leather to discreet denim, jersey and natural silk. The unique usage of raw wool shows more ardour stature. The collection’s diverse fabrics and structures are symbolic the evolution from cocoon-being toward the free life. Conceptual basic blends with courageous tailoring, extra care of fit, unique fabric treatments and handfinishings to create a distinctive elegance wardrobe.
