Show&Hide reflects on the contradiction and tension that lies in the function of body wear in our society. Clothing has a duality between decency and dare, between unveiling and isolation. Sometimes geometric and cold, this unisex outfit hides the face and torso, creating an isolated space. Other times organic, fluid, and bold, it reveals the body and its figure. Show&Hide questions the real function of body wear in its extremes. Until what point are we willing to hide behind a piece of fabric? Contrarily, to what extent can we reveal ourselves to draw attention?
