Colchester states that "Dress is an integral part of the way we view ourselves and project our personality, taste or mood on a certain day".
Caroline Broadhead comments on clothing and the way in which it is perceived. She is interested in the intimate aspects of clothing the idea that they have been shaped not just by fashion but by someone’s life.
“Clothing holds a visual memory of a person and it is this closeness to a human being that i am interested in”. In her series of skeleton clothe she uses the seams to create three dimensional line drawings which express emotional states, movement, gesture, aspirations and dilemmas.

A common phenomenon over the past 20 years is reusing old garments into new creations. The raw material is augmented into an object of higher status than the original. (Eg, Margiela).
First explored by Austrian group Wochen klausur. Makes links with dada practices, duchamp’s wheel and urinal. Raises the status of everyday object into icon. “Art for arts sake”.
Refers to Barbara Vinken – a shortcut to a unique object, as the fabric is distinctively heterogenous
