Umwelt Garment

Stéphane Degoutin and Lou Delamare

Vêtement

2014

The garment is located between the body and the environment, on the border between man and the world. The Umwelt garment creates a continuous space between these two universes that are the human body and its environment. It does not envelop the body like a classic garment, it merges the environment with it.

The person wearing the Umwelt garment loses the boundary that separates their body from their environment.


It is an integral garment, flexible, malleable, degradable, with multiple sensory properties. The material surrounding our body combines handmade processes and chemical substances. Permeable, it has the ability to capture information and substances from the external environment and to externalize the body's hormones.
