Designer Agnieszka Szreder created Soma as her graduation project at School of Form in Poznań, Poland. The Soma collection excises of three pieces of clothing, that are designed to help control one’s behavior in a stressful situation. It practices carefulness and making one award of the body on the most basic level. Soma is for a unity of the personal body and mind. Szreder designed the clothing collection to make people aware of their bodies through their construction and selection of materials.
The inside of the clothing pieces is made out of different inserted fabrics that provide various stimuli. For example, cold and slippery materials contrast the thick, comfortable foam, which was used to create the rest of the garment.
a“When the person wearing the outfit makes involuntary, unconscious gestures, such as crossing arms or legs, the different texture of the material on the inside will make him or her aware of his or her motions. Their mind will follow the movements of the body, which is often quicker to send us signals.”
