Refined Concept Pages

''Darwin's Theory of Evolution is the notion that all life is related and has descended from a common ancestor therefore complex creatures evolve from more simplistic ancestors naturally over time.  Genetic beneficial mutations are preserved because they aid survival which is the process known as "natural selection." These beneficial mutations are passed on to the next generation. Over time, beneficial mutations accumulate and the result is an entirely different organism.''

I am interested in Darwin's evolution theory as it has inspired me in terms of fashion and clothing. Cross displinary areas such as technology is influencing fashion as fashion evolves into a different organism with the same genetic make up (the purpose of keeping the body covered). The imagery surrounding evolution, particulary of the ape becoming a human inspires me to wonder how one garment can change form or its 'genetic make up' due to the bodies'' position and other enhancements such as inflation and light. My aim is to explore the possibilties of evolving clothing.
