review of interests, thoughts for final project

I am interested in the stories/narratives behind scars.
I am interested in the emotional connection/reaction people have towards their scars.

I am interested in how these can be translated into wearables terms (zippers, seams).
What would make your clothes special enough that you had to relay a story about them to people?


What if clothes had more than just a surface layer?
I don't yet know what the purpose of having such clothes would be. I guess I started thinking of the concept clothes as independent entities, with their own moods, with depth, personality. I think of this as a spin of the idea of clothes as "second skin". If clothes have scars (zippers, seams), shouldn't they also have something underneath?


I guess I have to think about what kind of purpose or functionality such an "organic/living" clothing might have, and if this is the kind of approach I want to take.
