Every morning we dress: a daily ritual, so ingrained in our lives that we rarely question it. But what does it actually mean to wear clothes? And what is their meaning in our lives? What happens in the moment we dress? Do you experience the feeling of cloth on your skin? Perhaps sparking some transformation or a sense of homecoming?

In a time where clothes are increasingly navigated by a digital world, there’s an urgency in exploring the relationship between our bodies and what we wear. Digital renderings, online shopping, fast production and virtual bodies are reshaping the industry. Is the making and wearing of clothing, once a very tactile experience being replaced by something else?

This research is a reflection on these questions. By weaving together phenomenology, movement and material explorations, the role of the body in making and wearing clothing is examined. Questioning how clothing can coexist with the body, and how the making of it—especially through craft-based processes—can reassert the body’s presence in our modern clothing industry.

Through theory, workshops, reflections, material and visual experiments this work invites you to slow down. Consider what it truly means to be dressed.
