Background
Super sexy clothing is obviously tight-fitting exposing the female body down to the minutest detail. Or is there an alternative?
Female Sexuality in Non-close-fitting Clothing
Michelle Brandstrup addresses the objectification of the female body and shows us that clothes can be loose-fitting and still pay homage to the female sexuality. The Japanese design tradition has inspired her to experiment with alternative ways of working with body and sexuality, incorporating elements such as movement, transparency and layer-on-layer techniques both in print and in form in order to create curiosity in the viewer about the body that is hidden underneath the clothes.
