About Self Defense Mechanism Herrmodekollektion

Book Text: Self Defense Mechanism är en herrmodekollektion utformad för att fungera som ett skyddande lager för bäraren. Kollektionen är ett svar på en tidsera präglad av informationsöverflöd, där människor dagligen tar emot fler budskap än en person kan ta in. Tryck baserade på neuron- och nätgeometri antyder spridning och oskärpa, vilket gör omvärlden svårare att uppfatta och sinnet kan förbli lugnt. Bomull och nylonnät är sammanfogade för att skapa en ny textur som speglar det tryckta mönstret. Plaggen följer standardmått för herrkläder och kan bäras som vardagskläder.

Production Technology
Using neuron and mesh geometry on prints symbolizes the spread and blur which makes us can't see what the outside world looks like and maintain our mind clear. By sewing cotton and nylon mesh together to create a new texture which is similar to the pattern I design for this collection.
Design Challenge
The hardest part is to create the texture by sewing cotton and nylon mesh together. It's hard to copy the shape of neurons.
Research
It's the idea come up in my mind, the concept start from the imagination of me hiding in my own womb and observing this world. The real one hiding inside and the fake one control me to live my life. And It is exactly how the Augment Reality works. So in my initially research, it fulls of the image of AR(hiding in womb), neurons (feeling), electricity (neurotransmission).
Inspiration
In the era of information explosions, humans are stimulated by various environments. The messages that make us receive in one day actually are far more than one person could undertake. Consequently, these clothes are aimed to consider as a protective layer for ourselves to stabilize in this world. Using neuron and mesh geometry on prints symbolizes the spread and blur which makes us can't see what the outside world looks like and maintain our mind clear.
Project Duration
The project started in September 2021 in Taipei and finished in March 2022 also in Taipei, made as my graduate project which also the last project before I graduate.
Operation Flow
People can wear this collection as normal clothing, but also wear it to anywhere depend on their feeling. As long as you feel great to this collection then that's the reason.
