(Dis)comfort
A collection in seven skin tones and three sizes was created. The original project in 2014 was criticised by some for showing thin white models, however, others also commented that this reflected the fashion industry.
Psychology
For the photo shoot of this collection, the models were asked to talk about their unique appearance of their body. For instance, how they feel viewed by others as well as how they see themselves.
Design
A series of transdisciplinary collaborations (e.g., in performance art, sociology, sports science, literature) with open-ended processes are planned to further use and build upon the concept and collection.
