‘REALMS’ is an interdisciplinary project that reimagines the boundaries and parameters of contemporary masculinity in fashion.
Visualising the death of the archaic macho man, Re-defining masculinity as a self-determined spectrum.
My design rationale stems from my experience of wider societies continuing pressure on men and boys to be more stereotypically masculine. Disrupting the common conception of gender, challenging the definition of fashion and the role of the designer.
Envisioning this ethos, I have subverted traditional opinions; visualising contemporary representations of masculinity in fashion design, styling, image making and text.
Wavering between the provocative and the conceptual.
Giving in to the abnormal and embracing the ‘freak’.
