In these works clothing does not merely represent the possibilities of individual and social identification but stimulates reflections on many current issues such as: mobility and migrancy, ethnic hybridization, the transience of beauty, the fragmentation of communities and relations between individuals, working conditions in a globalised world, the freedom to disengage from all absorbing cycles of consumption, the potential of shared practices.
