Streamer Experimentation - FINAL OUTCOME?

I HAVE USED STREAMERS AS A NATURAL OBJECT (THEY ARE MADE OF PAPER) AND HAVE EXPERIMENTED WITH THEM BEING USED ON THE BODY.

I AM PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN THE PROCESS OF DRESSING WHEN YOU ARE WEARING A STREAMER
IT IS VERY FUN
IT IS ALSO VERY NEW
NEW FUN AND MODERN ALWAYS MAKES FASHIONABLE

EXCELLENT! THIS TOTALLY APPLIES TO MY TOPIC/QUESTION

SO. AFTER I MADE THESE STREAMER OUTFITS AND TOOK PHOTOS I THOUGHT ABOUT WHETHER I COULD CONSIDER THIS 'DRESS', CERTAINLY. THIS FITS INTO MY DEFINITION OF GARMENTS EXCEPT FOR THE WEARING AGAIN/WASHING EASABILITY- WHICH CAN BE WORKED ON.

THE FRAGILITY OF THIS MATERIAL IS A VERY ATTRACTIVE ASPECT BOTH AESTHETICALLY AND INTELLECTUALLY- AFTERALL, WHAT IS MORE FRAGILE THAN FASHION IN THE EYES OF A DESIGNER OR WEARER?

I WAS THINKING THAT THIS COULD BE CONSIDERED A TURNING POINT FOR MY STUDIO.

WOULD IT MAKE SENSE TO TAKE THIS EXPERIMENT FUTHER AND CREATE THIS OUTFIT IN MORE 'GARMENT/CLOTHING' APPROPRIATE MATERIALS?

IF I CREATED THESE SAME LOOKS THEN THE INITIAL EXPERIMENTATION OF WEARING THIS NATURAL OBJECT (STREAMERS) APPLIED TO THE BODY COULD BECOME THE 'SHADOW' OF MY DESIGN.

I COULD FURTHER CLAIM THAT THE SUBSEQUENT DESIGNS ORIGINATED FROM THIS EXPERIMENT WERE GARMENTS ONCE APPLIED TO THE BODY BUT COULD IN FACT REMAIN OBJECTS BEFORE BEING APPLIED TO THE BODY, BECAUSE I COULD CONSTRUCT THIS OUTFIT IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE WEARER GETS TO INTERACT WITH THE OBJECT AND CREATE A METHOD OF DRESS, THIS HAS INTERESTED ME THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE STUDIO.

SO I WOULD CREATE A SERIES OF 'OBJECTS' THAT WHEN JOINED TOGETHER BY THE VIEWER WOULD BECOME GARMENTS THAT ARE INSPIRED BY THE SHADOW OF MY NATURAL EXPERIMENTATIONS. THEN AFTER RESEARCHING A NUMBER OF WAYS IN WHICH THESE GARMENTS COULD COME TOGETHER AND LOOK, I COULD PUT MY IDEAS IN A TRADITIONAL FASHION SCENARIO.

I COULD STAGE A CATWALK SHOW (MOCK CATWALK) THAT HAS LIMITED AMOUNT OF PEOPLE AND PLAYS ON THE CLICHE OF THE FASHION WORLD, ONCE MY OBJECT-GARMENT HAS BEEN SHOWN IN THIS SETTING THEN TECHNICALLY IT WOULD BE ABLE TO MORPH INTO THE TITLE OF FASHION.

SO. IN CONCLUSION
THIS COULD BE MY FINAL DESIGN OUTCOME
I COULD PRODUCE A VIDEO OF THE FASHION SHOW AND GET A MODEL IN FOR THE PRESENTATIONS TO ACTUALLY DEMONSTRATE HOW TO WEAR THE OBJECTS.

ANYWAY, THIS IS WHAT INSPIRED ME. AESTHETICALLY I FEEL THIS WORK IS VERY STRONG. WHAT DO YOU THINK? HELP ME PLEASE :)
