Kolekcija oblačil z izhodiščem v slovenskem planinstvu

Šmid, Sara (author), Peršuh, Nataša (mentor)

Magistrsko delo obravnava preplet slovenske planinske dediščine, kulturne identitete in sodobnega trajnostnega oblikovanja skozi razvoj avtorske oblačilne kolekcije. Planinstvo, kot pomemben del slovenske samopodobe, se v kulturi pojavlja kot simbol pripadnosti – od podobe Triglava do ikonografije v umetnosti in popularni kulturi. Zgodovinsko simbolna izhodišča so prenesena v aktualni oblikovalski kontekst, pri čemer je poudarek na odgovorni rabi materialov, upcikliranju in uporabi raznolikih tekstilnih tehnik za ustvarjanje vizualno in vsebinsko bogatih kosov. Kolekcija temelji na raziskovanju barvne dinamike, pri čemer izhaja iz predpostavke, da se Slovenci v gorah oblačijo bolj barvito kot v vsakdanjem življenju. Navdih črpa iz ekspresivne barvne govorice nemškega ekspresionizma in fauvizma ter retro estetike športnih oziroma gorniških oblačil. V obravnavi funkcionalnih oblačil se odraža tudi duh časa, ki se v sodobnem modnem kontekstu kaže v zabrisovanju meje med oblačili, prvotno zasnovanimi za dejavnosti na prostem, in njihovo uporabo v urbanem okolju. Teoretični del obravnava zgodovinski razvoj planinske kulture in oblačil v Sloveniji, pomen simbolike visokogorja v oblikovanju nacionalne identitete, ekspresivno uporabo barv pri nemških ekspresionistih ter sodobne trajnostne prakse v modi, ki temeljijo na ponovni uporabi in zmanjševanju odpadkov. Eksperimentalni del dokumentira proces oblikovanja kolekcije – od koncepta, barvnih in tekstilnih eksperimentov, plastenja oblačilnih tehnik in razvoja oblačil. Predstavljen je postopek komercializacije kolekcije in njeno umeščanje v slovenski kulturni prostor – skozi razstave, sodelovanja in modne revije – s ciljem približati tekstilno bogate kose širšemu občinstvu. Magistrsko delo s sodobno kolekcijo oblačil umešča zgodovino planinskega naroda v sodoben kontekst, jo reinterpretira ter opominja na naravno in kulturno bogastvo Slovenije. Ponuja razmislek o vlogi tekstila kot medija, ki omogoča preplet zgodovine, identitete, krajine in sodobnega oblikovalskega jezika. V ospredje postavlja možnosti, kako lahko sodobna moda s trajnostnimi pristopi odgovarja na družbene izzive ter ohranja stik z lokalno kulturno in naravno dediščino.

• Title: Clothing Collection Inspired by Slovenian Mountaineering

Abstract

Master’s thesis explores the intersection of Slovenian mountaineering heritage, cultural identity, and contemporary sustainable fashion through the development of an original clothing collection. As a key element of Slovenian national identity, mountaineering features prominently in cultural narratives – from the image of Triglav to visual arts and popular culture – serving as a symbol of belonging. These historical and symbolic references are reinterpreted within a modern design context, with a focus on responsible material use, upcycling, and the integration of various textile techniques to create garments rich in visual and conceptual content. The collection is rooted in an exploration of color dynamics, based on the observation that Slovenians tend to dress more colorfully in the mountains than in everyday life. It draws inspiration from the expressive use of color in German Expressionism and Fauvism, as well as the retro aesthetics of vintage sports and mountaineering apparel. The approach to functional clothing reflects the current zeitgeist, in which the line between outdoor gear and everyday urban fashion is increasingly blurred. The theoretical part explores the historical development of mountaineering culture and clothing in Slovenia, the role of alpine symbolism in constructing national identity, the expressive use of color by German Expressionists, and sustainable fashion practices focused on reuse and waste reduction. The experimental section documents the design process – from initial concept, color and textile experimentation, and layering of techniques, to garment construction. It also outlines the path to commercialization and the collection’s placement within the Slovenian cultural space through exhibitions, collaborations, and fashion shows, with the aim of bringing these textile-rich pieces closer to a wider audience. The thesis situates the history of a mountaineering nation within a contemporary framework, reinterpreting it to highlight Slovenia’s natural and cultural wealth. It emphasizes textiles as a medium that intertwines history, identity, landscape, and modern design, while exploring how sustainable fashion can address social challenges and maintain a connection to local heritage.
