THE CAVE WOMAN

- a COSY couture collection

3 outfits, 2010

Cave woman is a small collection of three body shells made of duvets. The cave woman is about how fast everything passes and that time is the ultimate luxury we have today. It´s a critique of the couture's ruling ideals, while the collection is filled with perfect examples of a genuine couture, needlework, decorations and trimmings. Just as in classic couture, the garments limit your freedom of movement, as well as having a limited range of use. The Cavewoman outfits only allows you take tiny footsteps. It slows down your tempo. I call it "cosy couture".
