is based on the fear of exclusion

The idea of exclusion from a collective experience is one that lives within us due to a universal need to be part of an inclusive tribe

The silhouette of this look is inspired by the sleeveless hoodie Justin Bieber wore to his Coachella weekend 2 performance this year as I was envious I was not there in person experiencing the show as part of a tribe.

Furthermore the streetwear nature of this look alludes to the mass need to be included in an aesthetic.

Juxtaposition Hoodie

Juxtaposition Hoodie

The choice of organza for this hoodie is intended to subvert the warmth and comfort of a traditional hoodie. The pink organza is screen printed in a bitmap texture of a traditional grey marle fabric. The intention behind this garment is to question the comforts of conformity and traditions whilst keeping the silhouette and colouration recognisable as a hoodie.
