Made clothes of PERIOD
I listened to 132 people's opinions on PERIOD and incorporated them into clothing.
132人の生理に対する声を聞き、洋服に落とし込みました。

TWO FACES OF
SANITARY NAPKIN
私は2年間も生理が来てない
I have not had my period for two years.
本来あるものがないのは不安になるしとても怖い
Not having something that is supposed to be there is unsettling and very scary.
もうこれ以上生理は来ないで
Here I am again.
また来た。今回もまたあなたに会えないのね
I won't be able to see you again.
後どのくらいであなたに会えるの?
How soon will I see you?
小さい足がパタパタと歩くところを見たいのよ
I just want to see your little feet flapping around.
メンタルや健康上の理由で生理が何年も来なくなってしまった人の話も多くある。一方で、妊活を頑張っているけれど、生理が来て今回もダメだったか…と落ち込んでしまう女性のお話も多く聞いた。ずっと生理が来ていないと来てって思うものだよ、と話してくれた人もいれば、赤ちゃんになかなか会うことができず、生理がこれ以上来ないで欲しいと辛いとお話してくれた人もいる。真逆の話だが、両者とも辛い思いを抱えている。このよう気持ちも、生理が関係しているということを知、向き合いたい。
ナプキンドレスの前と後ろで、この相反する二つの気持ちを表現。
There are many stories of people who have lost their periods for years due to mental or health reasons. On the other hand, we also heard many stories of women who are trying hard to get pregnant, but when their period comes, they feel depressed that it didn't work this time either... Some of them told us that if they have not had their period for a long time, they feel like they want it to come, while others told us that it is hard for them to see their baby and they hope that their period will not come any more. The opposite is true, but both are having a hard time. I want to face these feelings knowing that they are also related to menstruation.
The front and back of the napkin dress expresses these two conflicting feelings.
VAGUE
男がこうとか、女がこうとか、そういう話じゃない
