Suits and traditional menswear were prominent in this

project. during the research process I looked at what makes garments

masculine or feminine and how these symptoms appear in format

and form.

I decided to base the design on a classic tailoring type suit,

but add softer and more feminine accents that break up

traditional gender boundaries. By trusting my property process found

I how small shifts in format and content could change the experience

memory of the garment itself.

The goal was to design garments suitable for all genders and

emphasize the balance between strong form and flowing

details. I looked up materials that were stiff and strong and

mixed them with softer materials and created a connection between them.
