Costumes that reflect accord and discord
Clothes as a textile home, giving us the armour of the familiar, borrowed from far-away places:
Ethnic borrowings and gleanings informed the designs of the fabrics and patterns.
Self-chosen uniforms (generational costume) inspired by the protest culture of the 60s/70s watch from the sidelines.
The Cuts
Black Forest women with their high-waisted dirndls and aprons, Turkish noblemen with their typical baggy pants and short cotton shirts, Indian menswear with long, slim tunics, the draped gowns of ancient times.
Pleats, corsets and extra-short, quilted jackets contrast with 70s youth uniform: parkas, sweatshirts, extra-baggy shirts and headscarves, the global costume of working women.
Aspirational livery, considered costume from all over the world
