Pocket

In the fashion industry, the design differences between men’s and women’s clothing are often attributed to societal perceptions of power dynamics between men and women. In pant design, pocket size is typically sacrificed or completely omitted to maintain the elegant lines and contours of clothing on women’s bodies. How can pockets be a measurement in gender? Project Pocket explores how consumers can discern the interplay between fashion design choices and gender from the perspectives of functionality, gender equality, and consumer rights.
