problems to solve

Being a product designer, I'm used to define a problem in order to work out a solution. So a problem is a task to be solved and will be a starting point when developing a piece of clothing. The first problem/project is coming from biking with a skirt.

I'll start by telling you two personal revelations:

1) I love skirts and I love to wear them. They make me feel comfortable, welldressed and beautiful. I love the variety of possibilities; different lenghts, widths, shapes and prints.

2) I love to bike. To transport myself, someone else or shoppingbags, to exercise, for vacation or just for a cool sunday ride.

The combination of these two passions is causing me problems almost everyday, not least when living in Skåne, a very windy part in the south of Sweden.

Thus, I am to construct a bikable skirt. There have been similar skirt solutions like culottes, bloomers, skorts, hakamas and probably many more. It's about time for a revival, don't you think?
