Cinched In-Function Silhouettes

Wictor Ljunggren

This degree project investigates transformable garments using cord systems, drawing inspiration from the functional design of hiking garments and elastic cords with stoppers. Aiming to revalue cord systems by proposing adjustable garments that can shift in silhouette and functionality, in alignment with the kinaesthetic structure of the human body.

An experimental design approach was used, prioritizing repeated exploration and hands-on learning. The process included functional testing of cord systems through samples, body draping, garment construction, and fabric/print development. The outcome is a cohesive collection of five hiking-inspired outfits, with finding of how cord systems function both as a visual expression and as an active design tool, enabling interaction between materials and the human body.
