Gothic

Fig 1. attachment (author's own)

 

I'll be honest, we had great shapes to use on this mannequin, but the word given and the shapes themselves did not collaborate well together. The word we were meant to represent here was 'gothic'. You probably can't even tell what this mannequin is wearing, it is supposed to be 'man cut-outs', so when you open it out, it is a repetition of the same 'man' and it looks as if they're holding hands. Of course, when wrapped around the mannequin, it becomes difficult to tell what the shapes are individually.

So I accept that this garment may be unsuccessful visually, but the idea behind it isn't all bad. Since the theme is 'gothic', we thought these shapes could represent the outline of dead bodies at a crime scene, or just dead bodies themselves. This was the closest we got to 'skulls and bones'.
