The fifth edition of Dressing Codes – the competition organised by Domus Academy and Future Concept Lab with the support of Deborah Group – intends to confront itself for the first time with a real dedicated production.
Besides the traditional cosmetic products and according to the brand philosophy, Deborah Group is investigating decorative elements close to the body, in order to widen the action of 'Deborah aesthetics'. Following this approach, this year session proposes to examine the different points of the body with strong design broadmindedness.
Starting from the body as driver of the project the focus is put on those areas that have always been a site of decoration: head, neck, breast, arms, hands, hips and feet. These are the points where to work on with small objects with functional or simply decorative characteristics. Hats, hair bands, hair styling, earrings, tattoos, necklaces, bracelets, rings, tops, t-shirts, belts, flip flops and knick knack accessories for mobile phones and bags, these are some of the most obvious categorisation of products proposed, but they can be extended to new functions and objects.
The participants are asked to develop a complete and consistent collection able to consider all these aspects in a summer philosophy: the collection will be spring/summer 2007.
