Dystopian Metamorphosis- Introverts collection
I imagine in the future we will highly rely on our clothing, not just as layers of clothing but as a protective and functioning tool for communication. I imagine that our clothing will be a huge part of survival and that we will communicate through our clothing, for instance they could be responsive fabrics that are either visually intriguing and therefore have a hidden meaning behind it or could send signals via touch and being tactile, glow or reflect the light so the wearer is to be seen.
I have taken my inspiration from animals whom are able to shape change, colour change or camouflage as a defence mechanism or to stand out.
For this reason, I based my context around the 2 main personality types: introverts and extroverts.
'Danger' garment was inspired by puffer fish and their defence mechanism, to make the wearer seem hazardous.
The 'Protection' garment features several silicone 'buttons' allocated to create another dangerous impression and to protect the wearer from impact.
The 'Duplex' is another crossover design that can be worn for both personality types.
The 'Reveal' fabric shows its true colours alongside the breathable panels when motion is applied.
The 'Reversible Spacer' which can be worn both ways depending on the wearer's mood is focusing on maintaining the optimal body temperature. The Thermochromic strip along the zip can also indicate if the wearer is nervous and overheating by turning white from black.
