A. SAUVAGE - THIS IS NOT A SUIT

Here is a video from the designer A. Sauvage shown to me by Lauren Pires, the concept follows a simple logic within a strong framework. To explore the word suit and what it suggests. In each case, The designer invites subjects to wear garments from his collection and encourages them to express who they are whilst wearing a suit with no directorial... interference. This Is Not A Suit is a case study of the artist’s ongoing fascination with the internal and external influences that enable individualism. I think this is linked to my self initiated in the way that the modern man, may be pigeonholed into the wearing of a nice suit, however the attitudes of the people that wear them have changed and are allowed to express themselves in any way they want, the suit is just the casing that they individual comes in.

His website with photos from 'this is not a suit' are worth looking at too.
