My thoughts....

At the same time it would be naive of use to assume a persons personality or dress sense by what they are wearing. However the in fashion Innovation the garments do portray a mood or a feeling in itself. This may not be what the waerer is feeling but however this is what the garment is saying to its on lookers. Language is spoken through Innovative pieces of clothing.

Hidden. Mysterious. Not giving inner personality away also may reflect defensivness, shyness or even myschievious character.

Eco mind frame. Nature friendly. Also matematical thought. Calm and Natural feelings reflected with colour and shape.

Deep thought. Sorry state of mind. Lost. Depression. Gloom.

Aggression within the wear, defensive nature or statement of authority towards others. Maybe even protection against others.



Innovation design can become a language to its viewers. I feel Objects looked in to with more depth can communicate feelings. Shapes can portray mood and thoughts. Both blatently using dialogue or just as a suggestion through colour and form. For example the above images may suggest...

Sander Exhibition...

Sander Reijgers’ view of wearable art is extreme because his source of creativity stems from blow-up dolls. Yep, you know, that kind. He customizes ordinary tracksuits and hoodies by embellishing them with parts of the dolls. Heads, faces, breasts and so on. If you look carefully at the photos, he spares no parts of the doll’s anatomy.

The designer says, “These dolls are so ugly and vulgar that turning them into something beautiful has become a challenge for me. The doll is a means to convey something else.”

Theo Jansen - Kinetic Sculptor

Rhinoceros

Theo Jansen (born March 14, 1948, in The Hague, Netherlands) is a Dutch artist and kinetic sculptor. He builds large works which resemble skeletons of animals and are able to walk using the wind on the beaches of the Netherlands. His animated works are a fusion of art and engineering; in a car company television commercial Jansen says: "The walls between art and engineering exist only in our minds."

Since 1990 Theo Jansen has been occupied with the making of a new nature. Not pollen or seeds but plastic yellow tubes are used as the basic material of this new nature. He makes skeletons which are able to walk on the wind. Eventually he wants to put these animals out in herds on the beaches, so they will live their own lives.
