The story is about the daily lives of random people and objects, places they’ve been at, people they've in contact with and observations they’ve made. This idea came alive as one day, when we were sitting in a park, 90% of people who passed by wore jeans. They are one of the most common garments. We became fascinated by anything we take for granted, even mundane items such as jeans and decided to try to present it in a different manner by analyzing the initial constructions, shapes and acting as de-constructors for finding new versions of putting parts together. We deconstructed jeans, shirts, jackets and created enormous hats for which the inspiration was found from 18th century aristocratic women who wore hats with eastern stylistics. In our case we increased these hats to 4 times the size and decorated them with objects and sites from our everyday lives such as kitchen appliances, garden house, garage, guests table, fast food restaurant, radio player from childhood and music concert. Those might have been places where people would go wearing their jeans. For fabrics we used cotton, wool, denim and paper.
