Confluências entre o volátil e o material: uma criação experimental de bolsas conceituais a partir do olfato

Abstract

This final course project presents an experimental creation of conceptual bags through sense of smell perceptions, using the sensitivity of the sense of smell as the main identifier of iconic elements and their subjective interpretation for the creative process in fashion. The production of the project consisted of several stages, beginning with the theoretical foundation on philosophical aspects of smell; historical and sociological convergences between fashion, perfume, and smell; presentation of the importance of bags in fashion and in the social immersion of those who use them; followed by the practical implementation, such as the identification of keywords; creation of iconographic boards; sketches; production of accessories; preparation of conceptual photographs; and structuring of a catalog as a synthesized form of the project. The aims of this project are to present different ways of creating fashion products, encourage the exercise of the sense of smell, emphasize the importance of human sensitivity in all aspects of fashion product development, and produce bags as the main materialization of the subjective interpretation of sense of smell elements.
