Muscular T-shirt
When he bought this t-shirt, he wished for one thing, to find a warm and practical garment to protect him from the cold and the uncomfortable sensation of perspiration.
He was, initially, satisfied to find a product technologically advanced enough to respond to his needs. He now had to just test the product by exercising.
At the first fitting, there was a feeling of satisfaction, quickly followed by an overwhelming feeling of shame and modesty. This garment, with its patterns and structure, falsified his body. He had boasted about exposing his sculpted and muscular body to everyone, however he was still far from having that.
It was unthinkable for him because he believed it was indecent to show such an ostensible fantasy of the body, of his body. So he quickly covered it, returning the t-shirt to its original function, an intimate garment.
These garments show the inside of the body on the outside. This is a pattern study on the internal muscular structure. These T-shirts evoke an idealistic muscular structure by using pleating techniques or a knitted Jacquard pattern technique with retro-reflective treads.
