Sensitive Masculinity


During the minor Design Thinking and Doing, I created new designs, concepts and games by reframing problems and using different brainstorm techniques. During the six months I challenged myself within a personal project to design a non-conventional garment with a 3D printing technique on fabric. The goal was to step out of my comfort zone by designing a clothing item which takes the wearer out of their comfort too. The red pyramids represent the sensitive of men, accentuating the breast. The shape of the garment and the gauze accentuates the waist. The shoes create a fragile figure, which culturally is not connected to men.
