What is a garment made out of?

Experiments on making jackets in class, using different 3d materials and then later applying them to the body. I used flour, cellophane, jelly babies & soap









The process of applying our 'jackets' to an area of the body made me realize that my concept of clothing and fashion are radically different in reality and the words I use to describe garments can be applied to many forms other than those made traditionally from textile materials.



What is clothing if not garments? What are garments if not material form? What constitutes clothing- does it need to apply to the body? Does clothing or garments or fashion need to relate to an area of the body? Can they just interact around a body and still leave the person feel 'clothed'? Like darkness.

To finish off the post here is the peaches clip that we saw today that is SO incredible. She is such a babilicious
