bout gender, gender identity and norms, as well as to their loose fitting silhouettes that are used as a construction solution for being able to fit male and female coded bodies. Unisex fashion is often considered to be what is socially acceptable for all sexes to wear. Female coded bodies can dress in male coded garments but that isn’t the case for male coded bodies. Today a pair of pants is considered to be ”more unisex” than a skirt. Even though they’re just garments, we have gender coded them.

This work proposes an alternative of what unisex can be through exploring the non-human form of a chair with the purpose to step away from the human body’s biological differences that often dictates fashion design. The method of tracing a chair allows for unisex cuts to be explored through the means of experimental pattern cutting, as the gendered body does not dictate the shape of the garment. When tracing the chair it became apparent that lines and directions is a big part of the work, it also opened up for the search for solutions that would allow different bodies to wear the garments, without falling in the trap of oversized garments.

As a result this work proposes an alternative to the male coded unisex, including female coded materials and
decorative shapes allowed to fit many through elasticity.
