Hommage till slit och släp - västerbottniska arbetarskjortor i en undersökning om mönsters påverkan på kläder

Abstract

Hommage till slit och släp is a tribute and a resarch about patterns relation to clothes. The primary goal of the project was to examine how a pattern could change the apperance of a garment and how the garment’s construction and material would impact the pattern. The formative survey was about the sparsely populated areas in the north of Sweden and how theese areas have been treated by the swedish government. The issue worked as an inspiration and method which I used in the patternresearch. The result is four working shirts, each one with different variations of one pattern which works as a tribute to the people of northern Sweden whos bodies was worn out by working in the landscape.
