DRESS FOR HUNCHBACKED GIRL
DRESS FOR HUNCHBACKED GIRL is respond to the aesthetic problem of women with scoliosis.
This project is connected with personal interests of a designer. Scoliosis is a diseases which mostly suffer girls. Idiopathic means that we don't know why is that happening. The main goal was to answer what disability means in social context. I found the answer in "dis-normal" solution. The classic dress which "every woman wants to have in her wardrobe" was the key for basics of the construction. The negative form (parings of the fabric) from the model of classic dress was attached to the main project dress - the dark parts - in the way to resolve main disproportion issues as: rip hump, higher arm, ejected hip, shorter leg. The biggest problem was not a construction but harmful stereotypes, words, painful medical treatment, dealing with the disease itself. It's hard when everyday wardrobe reminds you that you look different than others. The only method is to admit the fact of disability and otherness. It's also important to know how to wear it.
