Dual Outlook
Shared by
New Zealand Fashion Museum
Fraser Crowe's 'Dual Outlook' was conceived as a fashion outfit for the year 2005. It is a set of five garments to contain or house the viewer in a 'space' away from the demands of hypothetical ever increasing technological pressures in a future. Combining advances in textile technology at the time and traditional weaving, Dual Outlook consists of five elements. The undergarment, a Lycra sheath, is topped by a 'body shield' in a twill weave of nylon and copper wire. The 'fly sheet' train is made of pleated copper coated polyester and the pyramid shaped visor is woven in a plaid pattern. Black nylon gloves complete the outfit. Dual Outlook won the Supreme Award at the 1997 Smokefree Fashion Design Awards (previously Benson Hedges Fashion Design Awards). It is now part of the collection at Te Papa Museum.
