VFILE How to live together? This is a contest entry for VFILES Runway 9: Designers For her final project for the Master program Fashion Matters at the Sandberg Instituut, interdisciplinary Mexican-born designer Karime Salame’s project HOW TO LIVE TOGETHER? presents coats as mobile homes and spaces of interaction. Karime’s project is a collection of coats with double functionality: as space providers and triggers of interaction. They can be worn, put flat on the floor and be joined together to create a communal sitting space to gather and share experiences with others. For the last two years, Karime has been taking a critical look at the role of clothes in our society. In her work fashion becomes a powerful tool, not only to create your own identity but also to relate to a social space and create a sense of belonging.
