Openings Up Agricultural Workwear

Nilsson, Jonatan January 2022 (has links)
In this work agricultural workwear garments will be deconstructed with the goal of challenging agricultural workwear expression and creating clothes that can be worn in multiple ways allowing for wider expression and ways of wearing in a smaller set of clothes. By opening up clothes from a farmer’s wardrobe to new ways of wearing and new garment types, placing them in new contexts, stereotypes and preconceived notions of farmers and rural culture will be challenged. The method used to deconstruct the garments will be based on working with ready made clothes and replicas and cutting them up, displacing the garments parts by allowing the wearer to enter the garment in new ways through alternative openings inspired by the unconventional zipper openings found on many vintage space- suits. Then making necessary adjustments to the construction to best allow the garment to allow for multiple ways of wearing. Colors and textures will be challenged as-well drawing inspiration from space suits and space travel. The relevance of the work is both personal and emotive through its reference points in agricultural workwear and space travel. Traditional shapes found in workwear will be challenged, trying to find new shape and silhouette with the application of deconstructionist methodology from Martin Margiela. The work also holds relevance from a sustainable perspective by prolonging the lifecycle of garments and discourage overconsumption with garments that fill up a wider purpose that otherwise would be served by multiple garments.
