Looking at gender and male mental health issues and responding to these in a hand embroidered garment.<br />
The idea for my garment is to make a menswear shirt. This compliments the celebration theme as it is the<br />
traditional smart attire that someone would wear to a party or celebration, but it would be enhanced from a<br />
'normal' shirt. There would be hand embroidery and handmade sequins on the collar and the cuffs, this<br />
would be decorating the entire pieces and would be very elaborate, leaving the rest of the shirt unembellished.<br />
This would be because the collar and cuffs would be made to be detachable so it would make<br />
the shirt easier to wear on numerous occasions in terms of the care cycle.<br />
The concept behind the embroidery design would be a celebration of men and allowing them to express their<br />
emotions and how they feel freely and easily. It would help to break the stereotypes and tradition of men<br />
being strong etc. and allow them to show their true feelings and personality. The colours and symbolism's<br />
being used are ones not necessarily associated with men but show how easily these could be worn by a man<br />
in modern times.<br />
