About
Tamara is a born and raised Mexican designer
who is interested in the correlation between
garments and the physical body. She was
raised in a family of ballet dancers and went
on to become one herself. From a young age
she was aware of the power of costumes to
enhace a performance.
Whether that performance be a person giving
a presentation, walking down a street, or
doing ten foutes on stage, seeing fabric in
motion drew her deeper into the storytelling
ability of clothing.
Because of this she likes to observe the
mannerisms of people to inspire her
garments. As well as challenge the idea of
unwearable wearable clothing. Challenging
the people who come across her work.
She hopes that her designs allow wearers to
question why their garments are the way they
are.
My focus for this thesis is the body, garment and the deepening relationship between the two. I like to observe how a person walks, breathes, bends, etc. and through those movements it shows the power clothing has over the body.Therefore, by imposing a transformative experience onto the body through garment design, will a deeper relationship between clothing and body arise? This collection challenges the body’s movement. Because when the body is met with certain challenges there is usually an internal dialogue that begins with the wearer. Questioning if that is where they should place their arms or if that is the right direction of a garment. I wanted to magnify that experience and create garments that enable that internal dialogue.
