身体直播!如何穿社交媒体来增加一个人的气势?
How can literally wearing social media contribute to raise a person’s swag?

打造一个街头时装系列:脸书我很敏感,Instagram 网络老公。

Design Solution:
I crafted a collection of street wear looks that are curated and animated with social media posts. The looks are intended to raise a person’s “swag” style and project confidence.

Filled with humor. Let’s make social media empowering.

社交媒体上的人设,当你穿起来的时候是否还是一样的炫酷?谁更炫酷?
Can your social media manner echo an “attitude” when you wear it on the street? This social media look holds an open conversation between a social media swagger, a physical swagger and my Swag Sauce participants. Who has more sauce?

 I curated some social media feeds to make you stand out.  Learn More

Swagger is a full package. It’s a tough look.  Why feel inferior when you are cool?

改变屏幕尺寸,让移动设备符合街头审美!
1. Make iPad / iPhone wearable.
Redesign screen-based interface.
Asymmetrical Shape Redefine the edge of screen


用服装设计语言!
2. Use fashion language to craft an enclosure.
It’s a graphic patch. Put digital device in my fashionable enclosure.


 
屏幕材质模拟针织衫服装材质,减弱屏幕与衣服差异!
3. Design Screen Texture.
Use graphic texture & real mesh texture to make visual experiences of screen and clothing blend into each other.


.
加入图形语言让文字更酷!图形改变语意。
4. Graphical Attitude / Humor
Rewriting the original social media post and enhancing one’s own attitude through graphic presentation. Social media posts could form an aggressive look when we wear it. 

#IAmSensitive Patch 
displays the most upset social media post. But it does not feel sad. 即使是最悲伤的文字,也可以很炫酷!


Instagram 网络老公!只选用有大量女粉丝的男性角色! 
#OnlineHusband Patch
displays life quotes and  lovely personal posts curated from a group of male. I would call them online husbands. I co-curated these social media accounts with my female friends to avoid conversation about toxic masculinity.



5. Modular Design 
模块化设计,想穿哪个就穿哪个!三种不同尺寸的移动设备用来展现不同的信息。混搭!
/ Customize the back

Incorporate detachable pocket system and a harness to wear it. 3 sizes of pockets come with different content display options. The image below shows how a user detaches different patches.




两种花式正面穿法!
/ Customize the front
Same harness can be worn two different ways based on your mood.




.



You look great. 100%confidence.
呈现! The images below show how I pair it with other clothing. It looks better if the harness blends in with other fabric. The strap & the cord amplifies the “attitude”





.
1. Slogan Research 

I analyzed the visual language of slogan hoodie and the tone of text. 


2. Material Study

Align social media feeds with the slogan hoodie visual language.



3. Ethnorgaphic Interview
I organized a tiny workshop with four ArtCenter female students to talk about the guys they follow on Instagram by asking "who is your online husband?" By working with women directly, I can avoid the trap of toxic masculinity.

4. First Prototype
Use mirror, mesh and iphone & ipad to build the first iteration and experiment with body placement.
