Does the dress enhance the body or is the body a vehicle for the dress? With Shadows to Wear the dress is presented as wearable art, where dress and body are symbiotic. Remete’s knitted collection combines transparent materials and asymmetrical designs that embrace the human figure and form shadows that span across the mounds and valleys of the body.

Shadows to Wear included a video installation that showed the movement of the clothes on the body, enhancing the theme of transparency and motion Remete explores in her clothes.

In Shadows to Wear transparent materials, presented in an unusual and simple way, provide us the opportunity to look at clothes on a body - and the body itself - in a different way.
