Clothing as garment structures, surround the body to form a skin like structure, basically as protection from elements and societies’ laws on nudity and exposure. Though the basic understandings of clothing’s purposes are acknowledged, the deeper psychological and physical explorations within disciplines such as fashion prove otherwise.
Clothing are a very personal matter, it interacts and is one with the human body and mind. To say that they are extensions of the human body is without a doubt an understatement.
Maybe clothing symbolises the “missing components” the human body requires, desires or aspires towards. Are clothes then, just textiles or are they artificial skin, that are expressions of who we are?
