Expression of psychophysical boundaries related to interpersonal space through selected techniques in fashion designing

Abstract

Every human being acquires a physical space in his existence from womb to tomb. This physical space is a variable which depends on external parameter; amount of matter the body consists of. The composite planes which this body mass is active could be defined as the active space around body which is, on the body and outside the body. Over this physical space each and every person owns their psychological space. This subjective space which is often affected by the parameters such as Age, gender and cultural norms is visualized as a “bubble “by Anthropologists. A rela- tionship is being built between interpersonal space and the active space on human body which is margined by a wearable. Transformational fashion is used in as the technique in the visualization of the discussed relationship. Avant-garde which is a method of experimenting and expressing a concept in fashion designing is used for this project as the method of execution. Objective of this line of Avant-garde, is to forward a method of expressing psychophysical boundaries of interpersonal space expe- rienced by an individual via compounding theories in fashion designing and modifi- cation methods of space to create an environment which cares about the need of self- expression of an individual.
