WE HUMANS ARE SENSORY BEINGS.
A garment sits at the interface between the body and the macro-physical environment. it is an experience, a rather multisensory one. All sensory aspects of a garment surround a wearer’s body creating a dressed atmosphere that is perceived both by the wearer and the observer.
There’s more to a garment than what appears to the eye and what follows is an artisitc take on some intangible sensory experiences from my own wardrobe.
‘My Sensory Wardrobe’ aims to encourage all viewers to take a moment when engaging withfashion at any point and listen to your body’s sensorial needs and likes.

// ‘That’ Underwear //
a thing so feminine and delicate (a sense of appreciation of aesthetics) to look at, an itchy menace to the skin. a garment, even though so intimate worn more for the viewer than for the wearer.
