DART MODEL - developed by Maria MacKinney-Valentin
Used to research and explore different factors that the trend emerges from.
FEMININE ELEMENTS IN MASCULINE WEAR
This project takes its starting point from the trend of feminine elements incorporated in masculine apparel.
With textiles as the media and final product, the project intends to push the boundaries of expression in masculine streetwear and what this may contain looking into the future.
The project was done in collaboration with designer and design firm Bibi Chemnitz. Native greenlander living in Copenhagen, Denmark. Her native background as well as her current base in CPH lays the base for a masculine streetwear style and persona best referred to as The Urban Inuit.
