For this project I was supposed to create a timeline documenting the history or progression of a series of events or design modifications I love a product or object. To avoid the usual clichés and projects that would be duplicates of other artists, to look at a project that was highlighting an object that was so bizarre and so often neglected that it would be rare and unusual to have presented in a timeline format. This brought me to—if you can imagine—underwear.
Underwear has been under there for more than 7,000 years, but no matter how persistently humanity tries to keep it under wraps, underwear is a part of fashion, history, and life. This timeline explores the undie overhauls that have brought us into the modern age.
