Perceptual Thinkers

Perceptual Thinkers draws inspiration from the behavior and clothing preferences of people living with autism. Our clothes aim to give an insight into their special perception by using stimulating fabrics and playful design patterns to experience clothing as a sensorial phenomenon. The clothes are capable to serve many different needs either completely ordinary or special ones. Since 2019, our philosophy of dressmaking has changed completely. We started focusing on innovation in fashiontech and experiment with the materials and forms. The Perceptual Thinkers Team and EJTECH collaboration were born out of the spirit of this new philosophy at the end of 2019. The many new things and changes in the fashion industry –for example, e-textile, which came to our life as a new material in 2018 - had a great impact on this collection. The two teams collaborated for an exciting capsule collection, which has a flagship item: a special jacket with embroidery on it, which are connected to sensors. These sensors respond to touches that play pre-programmed harmonic and disharmonic sound patterns, which can be heard via headphones or any device with a jack plug. The patterns also have a prominent role: they interpret the sounds on the jacket in a visual form.
