"Thomas(ine)" is an exploration of the relationship between the body, gender, and clothing. From a historical perspective, the study traces the influence of gender norms and physical ideals on the silhouette of fashion. Inspired by the life of Thomasine Hall, an English intersex person, and the androgynous icons of the glam rock period, the research proposes clothing that blends the masculine and the feminine to create a new silhouette. Drawing from the gender-neutral aesthetics of tech and sportswear, this collection transcends gender frameworks, focusing on the diversity of clothing and achieving flexibility to adapt to various styles of wear through the incorporation of YKK AiryString® tapeless zippers.
