Digital tactility
The starting point for creating virtual looks are the bright memories from one’s childhood linked to the interaction with clothes. The essence of the clothes is revealed and conceptually comprehended. The visual strengthening of feelings makes clothes non-functional and non-comfortable. This initiates the spectator’s emotions and makes him experience tactile senses with the help of transmitting the experience to the body and using the corporal memory. Such collection creates images that show how digital clothes may be comfortable or not.

Gentle stretch
You have always liked the softness and fluffiness of the knitted gloves made by the Granny. Usually the gloves were connected with the shirring so that not to lose them while walking. In was comfortable for the parents but for you it often was a feat. Now this caring tension under your coat will stay with you forever as a nice memory from the childhood.
Cotton candy
You follow your family’s tradition — to get warm using large fluffy pieces of clothes. Sometimes it is inconvenient to move in them but the most unpleasant are the fibres that get into your mouth.
BIG
Just let yourself become round and give yourself up to the blow of the wind.
Newborn blanket
You do not remember this but most probably you were veiled in something fluffy before you were taken out of the birth center. This dress wraps with care and warmth but please, lie still and obey your mother.
Puffy
You were wearing this suit when you mother used to decide that your body will not warm itself in the street. This clothes made you mother calm and allowed you to jump off the objects and to fly above the earth. This suit has tough hoses and neck hole. To put the head into it you have to make a strong effort. When you are inside everything becomes electric: the hair stand on end and the dust glues to the skin. Also it’s very difficult to wash your hands while wearing a puffy — tight shirrings do not let move the hoses so they are always wet.
Light legs
You are wearing the special scarf of your granny that she used to wear over the hair rollers. Sometimes she went to sleep like that. And you also got your curly hair for the morning parties in such way. The hair rollers in your family are linked with the beauty rituals and the assisting scarf still smells your granny and her hair.
Between
This outfit is a little tight and chafes your skin between the legs while the hood compresses your head. It all because your mom bought you a bathing skin of another size.
Ear pants
The shirring in the pants became loose long ago and they are constantly falling down but you love these pants most of all and thus continue pulling them higher and higher. The key moment is when you notice that the pants have fully absorbed you.
Wedding veil
One piece of virtual cloth gives you the possibility to limit your personal space, to stay safe and to play ghosts a little.
Mother’s bathrobe
In the morning you mother was sitting in front of the mirror in a silk gown and then you were taken to the kinder garden. Sometimes being alone at home you tried the gown and enjoyed the texture and the cloth gliding along your skin. Of course, the outfit was too oversized. You were dreaming of becoming a grown-up and having such a gown to sit in front of the mirror in it in the morning.
Insight out
You bought this dress for an urgent event, changed your clothes in the shop’s try-on room and went out. For sure you know the feeling when the tag on the new clothes scratches your back or side. But you don’t have scissors to change it. You have a long evening ahead filled in with doubtful feelings. Besides, the dress requires intensive care, please, read the signs on the tags.
Sleepinbag
Most probably you have worn this hat being a child but when you grew up it became undersized. This outfit lets you feel the warmth and wrapping comfort in any age.
Tights of hate
You have used since being a child that you have to put on the panty tights under the skirt or trousers. This clothing element has always been a mystery for you. You are 23 already but still follow the panty tights tradition linked to a number of discomforts: a hole in the sock, wrinkles on the knees, slipping off and an itching feeling on your skin.

On the video you can hear my voice. It was recorded by my friend when I was telling him about the things that I’ve kept through the whole life but never used. These things finally became the basis for this collection.
