Abstract: | In this thesis, I embark deeply on a personal journey, exploring how kinetic garments challenge and intersect with prevailing body image norms. Growing up in Nepal, a country where societal and gender norms are distinctly defined, I experienced first-hand the profound impact of these norms on personal identity and self-esteem. My transition to living in Western countries further deepened my understanding of these complex cultural dynamics. This thesis is an exploration of my evolution, both as an individual and in my interaction with society, through the lens of fashion and kinetic garments. |
