HARDWARE

The world of the elite; to be seen and not be seen all at the same time. To want the photos taken of you but not want the flashing lights. To understand this mindset of the elite, Dr. Jonason studied these people and created a concept which he referred to as the ‘Dark Triad’ (Kaufman, 2010.). The triad of dark traits consist of machiavellianism, sub clinical narcissism and sub clinical psychopathy. Although these all seem like terrible traits to have Dr Jonason discovered people high in these three dark traits are high on self esteem and openness and low on levels of anxiety and contentiousness.

These traits have been referred to as the James Bond Psyche; and inhibit many of the most elite and successful in any society. These people were also high in levels of competitiveness and individuality but weren’t easily happy for other people (altruistic) or pro social (behaviour that helps others).

Combined with the idea of power dressing, this completes the mentality of the elite. Studies have shown wearing a suit promotes more ‘abstract processing’ capeability as opposed to ‘concrete processing’ and that wearing a suit everyday does not diminish that feeling of power we feel when wearing a suit. (Brown & Arpel, 2015.)

By further breaking down the idea of powerdressing and promoting it as “learning to present yourself in the most dramatic way,” (Little, 2012.) the collection titled Want to wander with me? was created. Not only are the pieces statements individually, but they would also likely appeal to someone high in the Dark Triad of traits for their obnoxious visibility. These pieces are bought to be seen in, not to be camped in, danced in, or skied in.

The garments within the collection also feature hallmarks of early sports-wear with some of the garments being made primarily from wool as it is naturally water repellant and will mold to the body with wear for a more comfortable fit. Elements of tailoring are easily recognisable in the ski body jacket as well as the kilt from the camp body and the figurative epaulettes in the royal body.

Each body within the collection features an analogous colour palette with a contrast colour and an accent.

Due to the eclectic nature of the collection, some of the fabrics have been used across multiple looks to add an element of harmony across the bodies.

Want to wander with me?

The designs created for Want to wander with me? are created from the idea that more is more. Opulence meant; more hardware, more patterns, more design lines, more fabrics and overexpressing the strong themes within the designs such as strength in shape, athleticism and architectural design.

The clashing archetypes of sports-wear and power-dressing ARE evident through the sporty, practical design of garments within the collection.

Made from a clash of technical and non-conventional fabrics this collection juxtaposes the elements of tailoring through the shape of the garments as well as the the check fabric motif.

Want to wander with me is a collection of pieces styled together for editorial to create eclectic campy bodies. The garments within this collection can also be ‘styled down’ to be worn as everyday garments making the collection an investment piece both for a stylist and the everyday wearer.

The wearer of these pieces is someone who wants to be seen.

The Camper This body showcases the power struggle between groups of people showing through the strong camp aspects of a contemporary version of a Scottish highlander. The kilt particularly shows the power struggle between the Scot’s with the tartan and the English take over shown through the oil painting applique. The paintings chosen for the English applique was chosen purposefully, with both the male and the female shown with animals. As research has shown, having an animal in the 17th and 18th century was a form of status and power.

WAn The Royal Power over the people. The royals and the commoners. This body, inspired by the large coats and embellishment of royal military wear. Is showcased through the upcyled charms of the jacket. Camping and survival aspects are shown through the paracord, the only item on the charms purchased as brand new. This paracord was a general 8 strand paracord which can be pulled apart and used to mend and sew, used as fishing line and nooses for hunting.

The Prep Showcases camping in a literal sense, showcasing a one person tent worn as a headpiece. The Prep body explores the idea within the concept relating to power in dressing. The literal version of power dressing is shown in this body with the preppy suit worn underneath the tent headpiece.

The bandwagon ‘Get on the bandwagon,’ the person who jumps on the bandwagon. These people give the elie more power by following them. This ultimately makes the elite trendsetters, giving empowerment to both the person they are following and the follower.

The Skiier The skiier showcases the psyche of the elite as a whole. Wearing a different colour palette to the rest of the bodies within the collection; exploring many prints along with a very strong contrasting colour. The skiier wants to be seen but also look quite casual. They are waiting, and wanting for someone to take a photo of them from the hotel bar in the Swiss Alps.
