After a lot of thinking and contemplating lovely creatons, I made the choice of posting several a images, an image that ''has it all'' (all 6 functions i mean) is the above garment by Missoni 2009 Fall collection. I believe this garment/outfit expresses all 6 functions in a way that is very subtle, yet expressive-Missoni kind of way. Environmental Protection in the classical sense, meaning ''keeping warm'', with knitted scarfs, woollen outfits.
A way I personally like, a multi-layered (yes i like layers), hip-hop meets romantic-hippie look. This ''spider-web-y'' dress, gives the garment a delicate touch suitable for a party, or just feeling good at home on a gloomy day.
Apparantly Angela Missoni's daughter Margherita was wearing a 2009-collection dress on front row of the show....this expresses the ceremonial, but even more the group membership function of dress in a very direct way.
And from a different culture,a garment by Japanese Kimono designer Jotaro Saito. The Kimono expresses also the 6 functions within one garment. Gender differentiation is achieved by the middle belt,which for women is much broader, and from bust to waist line.
An image i am adding ,at the latest moment, as the class discussion is covering the topic of Environmental Protection just now.
The Urban Security Suit by the dutch designer Tim Smit
In reality its all being about the perception of danger
...I believe this image to be very appropiate...
