oscar lhermitte goes under cover
‘under cover’ project by paris-born, london-based product designer oscar lhermitte looks at the psychological perception of uniforms, its languages and its opportunities. for lhermitte, a uniform is a set of standard clothing worn by members of professions such as police, builders and the emergency services. each uniform tells a lot about the person’s background and its function in the context of use. the police uniform is symbol of authority, power, security and in some cases fear. every single person working in public space has to wear a high visible outfit, from builders to police officers. it is forbidden to impersonate a policeman, however it is legal for anyone to wear high visibility clothes. the ‘under cover’ jumper and collar have been designed for situations requiring authority, power, or simple expediency in everyday situations, including catching a bus at ones convenience.

Agreed with J – Performance art has many sites that deal with this type of project, so leave it to them. Not really a design project, more anthropological/social studies.
