Have you ever thought about where you wear your clothes?

​

Every clothing item, such as a dress, jacket, top, skirt or trousers, is designed for a different section of the body.

But what if we wear our clothing differently from how it was designed? What would happen if we turned our clothing literally upside down, inside out, and on its head?

This recipe explores the role of fashion in alternative imaginary worlds.

You will create and perform our own characters and story from an imaginary world which explores ‘what if’s?’ in the future of fashion!

​

It encourages explorations into what future world we want and what role fashion could play in this future and in society.

Have you ever played the game pass-the-parcel before?

Pass-The-Parcel is a game in which a parcel is passed around while music plays, with something surprising to open.

This version of Pass-The-Parcel uses clothing, accessories and random objects to play a game of dressing-up, imagination and reinvention.

We see the world in 3D, but how can we see our 3D world differently?

Put on your imaginary ‘3D’ glasses, to think out-of-this-world!

​

Let’s re-envision and re-imagine

the world around us…

​

This recipe can be played as an extension of Pass-The-Dress-Ups!

Have you ever thought about the stories behind your clothing and our clothing stores?

You will act as fashion detectives to explore your local neighbourhood and clothing to discover these stories. Using these discoveries, you will imagine the future of our clothing and clothing stores!

​

Total time: 2.5+ hours but each activity within this recipe can be played individually. 

Our clothes are physical objects. But they also carry our memories and personal and family stories. Have you ever wondered what the story is behind our clothes?

​

Perhaps you or a friend or family member has kept a clothing item that they no longer wear? Perhaps they own clothing that has a special meaning?

​

Let’s investigate the hidden narratives (stories) behind our clothes!

Everyone has their own unique style and fashion sense. But what if we wore someone else’s clothes? What kind of outfits could we create?

​

Let’s share, swap, wear and play dress-ups with each other’s clothing!

​

Head-To-To encourages us to expand both our mental horizons and physical wardrobes through re-engaging with our and others' wardrobes. 

We should think of our clothes as our friends. They are there when we need support and comfort. They create joy, hold memories and develop

our identity.

They travel with us on our bodies, helping us experience the world. But our clothing also experiences the world too.

Let’s imagine that our clothes are our friends and a world where our clothes come to life!
