'Three Coats' by Siv Støldal and Ruth Hogben
Based on the clothing of three Norwegian men - a pensioner, a diver and an engineer - Siv Støldal's 'Three Wardrobes' collection provided the inspiration for her contribution to Political Fashion. Created in collaboration with filmmaker Ruth Hogben, this film isn't so much about 'fashion' as clothing, focussing on the minutae of Three Coats and in such provoking unanswered questions about age, race, class and gender roles.
