COLLECTIONS

Makers have been cast aside by society, deemed ‘unprofessional’ for their overwhelm of work.They lie in the shadows of the corporate man, held at such a height it is impossible to reach him.

The makers gather their tools,attaching them to their uniforms so that they overwhelm their silhouettes, and set out to create a new world.

A world in which the physical presence of the tools of their trade communicate their dedication to their craft, showing a level of professionalism the corporate man could never dream of.

The weight of their tools nearly immobilises them, however... they continue to work.

Concept

This story highlights the importance of makers within our society as well as their inherent professionalism that goes unnoticed by the mainstream worker.

Traditional Corporate fabrics are carefully chosen to explore six makers and their different crafts through this storyline.

Each silhouette is inspired by the geometry heavily utilised in 1920s German Expressionist silent films such as Metropolis and Das Cabinet Des Dr. Caligari (The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari) - two of my favourite films.

THE ARTIST. THE BUILDER. THE PHOTOGRAPHER. THE CHEF. THE DESIGNER. THE SCRIBE.
