HUMUS - 2009 graduation leather-goods project. Pic: ngphotographer.net - I named this project “HUMUSâ€: the metaphor of “humus†explains the Fashion's basical need of "reshaping the body-silhouette" in something new. That means the "enpowering" of the body, creating the powerful misunderstanding between genders, between the “coat†as male-tailor-erection and the “bag†as female-cavity.
The most typical coat’s types were interbreeded with the sack’s cuts (the archetypal bag), creating a new prolific hybrid of meaning’s postponement.
