The textile item explores the concepts of changing industry and its relation to decade's old subcultures of the streets of Tokyo, Seoul, London, and New York, and the everlasting impact on of the Hallyu wave (1990's-current), all the way to the recent cult following of the live shows of Taylor Swift (The Eras tour) and Beyonce (Renaissance tour). The item showcases the rise of unisex fashion within recent runway shows of high-end brands that are pushing the understanding of the binary, while also showcasing the curated styles and concepts that go hand in hand with the music being produced within the 21 st century and what is next to come. As the hold Covid had on the live entertainment industry slips away there has been a boom in world tours of Musicians. In 2023 the likes of Beyonce, Taylor Swift, The Weekend, Olivia Rodrigo, Stray kids, Enhypen and TxT made their impact on the world music scene with record breaking tours. Consisting of an average length concert of 2 and a half hours these shows had elaborate stages, special effects, and costumes. The item is made from adaptable base pieces including a blazer and wide leg pants allowing for different versions of the costume to be made. The versatility of the different items in the costume means the performer can have different stage looks as the skirt and blazer can be removed to provide alternate looks, this ability to interchange piece allows for a smaller amount of garments to be travelled with, but still lets there be a large variety of looks across a tour not jeopardizing visual looks over space.
