RE; Houndstooth reinterprets the traditional houndstooth pattern as a symbol of resistance and belonging. Originally used as a non-clan-specific alternative to tartan in Scotland, the motif becomes a contemporary code for a fictional, global FLINTA* collective. The modular garment system includes a p
rotective outer layer—constructed as safety wear—and a lightweight underdress, both connected and adjustable via Velcro straps to accommodate a range of body types.
The pattern itself features over 60 hand-drawn bodies arranged in swarm-like formations. I designed the graphic and applied it to the textiles through various screenprinting techniques, creating a hybrid of cultural heritage and political commentary.
