Clothing designer, Diondega's stylish jumpsuits became the inspiration and base for 3 connecting outfits. I created hooded tops and armwarmers that sipped together, and added zippers to the legs of the garment. Rebecca Grady and I wore these during our Intimate Apparel Workshop for Version Fest 2007 in Chicago. The workshop enabled participants to create costumes that encouraged intimacy and discouraged everyday functionality. Examples of group garments, based on my previous projects, that zippered, buttoned, and tied into each other were provided for anyone to try on. A temporary workshop space equipped with sewing materials, fabric, and clothing was set up for participants to make their own ideas of intimate apparel become reality.
