Man without properties. Creation of a clothing collection based on the study of Moscow conceptual art
The concept of a diploma collection
The image aidos developed by Victor Beevovarov was the key impulse of my project. In his work, the ideal utopian form is transferred to the Soviet reality and turns into the symbol of impersonalization: a person loses his personality and becomes an element of the system. This reductive figure continues the avant-garde tradition of human modelling through shape, but u it is filled with internal tension — fragility, concentration, trying to keep personal in conditions of the given structure.
These artistic principles — geometry, shape modification, composite stringency — have become the basis of my collection. I’m looking at Eidos as a model, which is human, and abstract co-existence, but is found in a permanent conflict. Siluets, color blocks and design decisions capture the stages of this transition: from shape to graduality of its violation when the body begins to resist a given ideal.
The future collection becomes a statement about the possibility of release. The geometric structure is no longer it absorbs the figure, a it is transformed into a field to seek personal freedom. Through the shape, the movement and the composition I seek to show the moment when a person comes out of the pre-defined scheme and returns his right to individuality.
A collection on the gradual release of the human being from the ideal form imposed by the system and the return of identity in a space where the geometric structure ceases to determine the identity of the individual.
Design search for form
Production of selected technology
The manufacturing technology I developed in the first module is based on the furniture principles of assembly. The use of a dense base and a manual seam allows for the creation of clear, stable geometric structures that form independently of the movement of the body. As a result, the clothes acquire architectural expression and become closer to the abstract form of the Eidos rather than the traditional soft silhouette.
