The Design
About Alternative Genderově neutrální módní kolekce
Alternative je genderově neutrální módní kolekce čtrnácti kusů, zahrnující vrchní díly, spodní díly a svrchní oblečení. Kolekce je inspirována starověkými unisexovými oděvy ze západních i východních kultur, jako je řecký chitón, římská tunika, čínský šen-i a thajský jongkraben. Každý kus využívá flexibilní spoje, materiály a skládání, díky čemuž lze střih přizpůsobit různým typům postav. Oděvy jsou prezentovány na mužských i ženských tělech. Záměrem není tělo skrývat, ale rozmazat pevně dané hranice oblékání a podpořit sebeidentifikaci.
