Upcycling Costume: DeReConstructing Masculinity with Takis
Sat 7 Sept 11.00 to 18.00 Design Studios
Recycling old-fashioned male garments not only answers the demands of ever changing fashion consumption, but can also help maintain a sentimental value, a palpable sense of past and personal history. This workshop created a series of male garments by questioning and reinterpreting the notion of masculinity and by using concepts and methods representative of deconstruction. Using ready made male suits, dismantling and re-design techniques were explored.
