concept

Annemarie visualised that metaphorical feeling of not being able to fill our parents' clothes. Her muse is Junior, wearing dad's tailor-made suit. He wears a blazer and front pleated trousers, but the clothes hang loose on his body and seem not to fit. Since the clothes were not made for him in the first place, they accentuate what Junior lacks as opposed to his father. Posture. Muscles. Virility. Annemarie's clothes were not meant to fit in the classical sense of the word, but that's what they do perfectly.
