‘FLOORDROBE’ aims to highlight and strengthen the intimate and sensorial nature of dress. Modernity, the foundation of current Western systems, has obscured relationships between the wearer and the worn, culminating in a collective dissonance.

By framing my collection’s development around 'irrationality' as an anti-thesis to the rational, “FLOORDROBE” seeks to undo androcentric rationality by proposing states that can be described as emotional, delicate, feminine, chaotic, frivolous, and fluid. Realised using anti-methods and adaptable techniques throughout my collection to underscore dress’ potential for becoming, I showcase clothing as non-sequitur, performative materiality.
