This was the inspiration behind my creative project for a sociology class I am currently in.
The Idea
My idea was to create garments for this project. These garments would be based on the following learned content from the class:
The association of things and certain genders
Gender roles
And Title IX
The Inspiration
Many designers for the past 3 consecutive seasons have shown men in kilts and skirts. I found it ironic that we associate women with skirts more so than men, and this was the perfect class to make such a design for.
Many designers also used the theme of sports jerseys or their lettering/numbering as inspiration for many shirts as well. This trend is worn on both the runway, and by the masses, and is therefore considered a fashion trend.
Inspiration: Givenchy
Inspiration: Gareth Pugh
Inspiration: Rick Owens
My Creation:
The Look:
The Conclusion:
I concluded that gender roles, although sometimes helpful, can also sometimes hinder or put restraints on things we do, just as we have learned in class.
There are masculine and feminine behaviors that both men and women do when they perform their gender.
Men and women should be treated equally
