WORDS ALISSA THOMAS<\/strong><\/p>\n

LET’S HYPOTHESISE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Imagine you were confined to a plain white room. Completely white. No doors,\u00a0no windows. No sound, no shadows. Nothing to differentiate one part from the other.\u00a0It wouldn\u2019t be too long before you started manically searching for a way out. Your eyes\u00a0would struggle to focus. Your ears might ring from the silence. You might start pressing\u00a0yourself against the walls, searching for a physical anchor. You might coop yourself into a\u00a0corner and listen to your own breathing, or even begin talking to yourself. After a period\u00a0of time, it\u2019s likely you\u2019d go mad. With nothing to stimulate you, all normalcy would cease\u00a0to exist, and your mental balance would follow.<\/p>\n

But what was it that made you crack first? Was it the claustrophobia? The panic?\u00a0The loneliness? Possibly. But more likely, it was the nothingness. The sensorial\u00a0deprivation. Humans are complex beings, we have evolved over millions of years to be\u00a0capable of processing endless information. In fact, we\u2019ve come to crave it. No longer is\u00a0it our primal necessity to run from bears or hunt for food, instead we can relax the fight\u00a0or flight predisposition and turn our attentions to billionaires in space or rating Uber Eats\u00a0drivers or mulling over whether reviving Sex and the City was a good idea. At our most\u00a0fundamental, we are walking receptors. Creatures who have survived based on what our\u00a0senses teach us to fear and love. So, when the world prevents us from accessing some of\u00a0the vitals that keep our minds and bodies thriving, how do we cope?<\/p>\n

\"grazia<\/p>\n

THE FEELS<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Aristotle defined the five senses<\/a> (sight, sound, smell, taste\u00a0and touch) circa 360BC, it\u2019s unlikely his epistemology extended to\u00a0a time when the world would be glued to small electronic devices\u00a0while holed up in their home-jails. He presented the idea that\u00a0knowledge is empirical \u2013 that everything we know comes from what\u00a0we sense \u2013 and since then, we have pushed it to the outer limits of\u00a0physiological existence.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve never sensed more in our history. To the extent that\u00a0philosophers and scientists now argue there are likely many\u00a0more than the original five. To start, they suggest two need to be\u00a0added \u2013 vestibular: our feeling of balance and orientation, and\u00a0proprioception: our sense of physical place. They have both been\u00a0labelled \u201cthe sixth sense\u201d at times and while they might seem more\u00a0intuitive, their acknowledgement proves awareness-based senses\u00a0are now as viable and tangible as the five we learned about in\u00a0kindergarten. However, they\u2019re not exactly new, says Jackie Higgins,\u00a0author of Sentient: What Animals Reveal About Our Senses.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe senses that work beneath our conscious radar and without\u00a0our awareness might be new to many people but they are not\u00a0new to science,\u201d says Higgins. \u201cProprioception was first coined in\u00a01906 by Charles Sherrington, well before we knew much about it.\u00a0But at the same time, Sherrington coined \u2018interoception\u2019 for the\u00a0moment-to-moment sensing we do of our body\u2019s inner state; sensing\u00a0our inside world as opposed to what he called \u2018exteroception\u2019,\u00a0sensing the external world (through seeing, hearing, touching,\u00a0tasting, smelling). Yet, despite being named over one hundred years\u00a0ago, scientists are only now beginning to understand interoception,\u00a0and its definition has shifted and evolved.\u201d<\/p>\n

These days we push and pull our lives between non-stop stimulation\u00a0and cathartic moments of shut down. We control what we feel,\u00a0where we go and what we do to the highest degree. We\u2019ve become\u00a0accustomed to feeling everything, anything and nothing as we wish.\u00a0Therefore, there\u2019s little wonder this period of societal removal has\u00a0caused speculation over how we\u2019re dealing. The repetitious use of\u00a0terms like \u201cisolation\u201d, \u201clockdown\u201d<\/a> and \u201csocial distance\u201d has spun\u00a0even the most mindful of us into a web of imaginative blackout.\u00a0We\u2019re surrounded by endless proverbial noise while experiencing so\u00a0very little real-time life. So, is it possible we\u2019re changing the course\u00a0of our sensory evolution?<\/p>\n

\u201cNot really,\u201d says Professor David Alais from the Faculty of\u00a0Psychology at the University of Sydney. \u201cOur senses have evolved
\nover millions of years and [they\u2019re] not going to tact quickly. But\u00a0I think what has<\/em> changed is the way we use them. I guess it\u2019s\u00a0about neuroplasticity. The brain is very flexible, new pathways get\u00a0laid down and strengthened all the time. [This means] you can\u00a0get into a nasty habit of constantly looking for visual or auditory\u00a0stimulation. In a way, this is not evolution but rather changes in\u00a0patterns of behaviour. And it takes a long abstinence to break them.\u201d<\/p>\n

As worldwide lockdowns rolled out last year our era of excess was\u00a0suddenly thrown into a bubble of deprivation. Those residing in\u00a0households with families found themselves covered by constant\u00a0contact, mega-decibels and insane multitasking while those living\u00a0alone struggled with an increasing lack of human touch and\u00a0dwindling motivation. Either way, we were repeatedly reminding\u00a0our brains that our homes and their contents would be the extent\u00a0of our experience for the time being. It\u2019s not surprising we sought\u00a0mental refuge in the glow of our social media feeds despite knowing\u00a0it was doing very little for our creative development.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are living in a world of constant interruption and no one is\u00a0really focusing for long periods anymore,\u201d says Alais. \u201cYou don\u2019t\u00a0have the long down times we used to have, where you just sat quietly\u00a0with your mind. I think creativity and imagination have suffered\u00a0generally in modern society and in particular with the lockdown.\u201d<\/p>\n

The psychophysics behind the two \u201cnew\u201d intero senses (and there\u2019s\u00a0argument there could be up to 25 more) is indicative of our modern\u00a0lives. While we gravitate to portals of endless information, we\u2019re\u00a0simultaneously becoming more aware of our internal receptors\u00a0and, in turn, we\u2019re on a mission to soothe them. Mindfulness,\u00a0meditation, yoga, even visual pseudo-experiences such as ASMR\u00a0(autonomous sensory meridian response \u2013 a phenomenon where\u00a0certain images cause a relaxing frisson in some people) are big\u00a0business now. We\u2019ve begun to train ourselves to sense when our\u00a0senses are over \u2013 or under \u2013 whelmed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn January of this year, a paper appeared in the scientific journal Trends\u00a0in Neuroscience titled \u2018The emerging science of interoception\u2019, says\u00a0Higgins. \u201cWe now know that interoception gathers information from\u00a0all our organs \u2013 whether heart, lungs and blood vessels, or stomach\u00a0and intestines \u2013 to both consciously and unconsciously monitor\u00a0what is going on within us. For example, when I practise yoga, the\u00a0mindfulness of my breath, my heartbeat starts with interoception.\u201d<\/p>\n

Accessing these perhaps \u201chigher\u201d senses could be key to unlocking\u00a0our most creative selves, and keeping our brains motivated during\u00a0times like a global pandemic. A person who rolls out of bed only to\u00a0read click-bait, sit on the couch and spend the day responding to\u00a0emails is going to have a very different experience to a person who\u00a0rolls out of bed, goes outside, plans a new project and finds plenty\u00a0of digital-free time. We have to recognise that the stimulation we\u2019ve\u00a0taught ourselves to crave is not necessarily what we need (Sourdough\u00a0For Beginners > \u2018WebMD symptom checker\u2019, for example) and that\u00a0for your sensorial self, staying indoors vastly inhibits creative potential\u00a0\u2013 particularly in comparison with the experiences the outside world\u00a0offers. Anthropologically, this is what we\u2019re most used to.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust going outside for a walk, all that sort of unstructured\u00a0wandering and randomness prompts a lot of imaginative thought,”\u00a0says Alais. \u201cWhen we\u2019re quiet and reflective it becomes active.\u201d<\/p>\n

THE FLIGHT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is there a correlation between rousing culture\u00a0and doomy days? Prior to the pandemic, fashion\u00a0was having an affair with dystopia. It was a long,\u00a0arduous fling that saw many of us embrace the\u00a0monochromatic bleakness, asymmetrical shapes\u00a0and, though perhaps only for the most devout,\u00a0dingy accoutrement that didn\u2019t exclude full face\u00a0gas masks. As ironic or prophetic as it may have\u00a0seemed, when the world played a pandemic-sized\u00a0checkmate, the outlook changed.<\/p>\n

Fashion is the original trend-setter, not the\u00a0responder and it\u2019s dishing out a coming revolution.\u00a0Gone is much of the post-world doom \u2013 collections\u00a0are suddenly alive with multi-faceted texture,\u00a0technicolour and even a welcome humour. We\u2019re\u00a0seeing a rush of optimism and fun not usually\u00a0saved for high fashion. While shows have been\u00a0limited to digital offerings (although one could\u00a0argue lockdown offered some of the most creative\u00a0alternative presentations in living memory)\u00a0designers are manifesting an era of jubilation as\u00a0they return to real-life runways.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think fashion is going to be important in the\u00a0next while, in making people gain the confidence\u00a0of going back out and dressing up again. The\u00a0whole point of this collection is: believe it, and it\u00a0will happen,\u201d Jonathan Anderson said following\u00a0his Loewe Fall 2021 presentation. Like many of\u00a0his contemporaries\u2019 fall designs, the collection\u00a0was unapologetically punchy. Rife with bold,\u00a0post modern silhouettes, most covered in graphic\u00a0colour, psychedelic prints and conspicuously tactile\u00a0appliqu\u00e9, Anderson called it his \u201ccolour therapy\u201d.<\/p>\n

At Bottega Veneta, Daniel Lee loathed all the digital\u00a0dependence so much so that for Spring 2021 he\u00a0physically sent out a series of inspired mood-books\u00a0as a sensory distraction. Then for Pre-Fall 2021\u00a0his collection of \u201cessentials\u201d featured hard-edged\u00a0hero pieces covered in texture so three dimensional\u00a0(wild feathered pants, sequinned mermaid gowns,\u00a0ultra-swinging fringing) you could almost feel them\u00a0through the pictures. With the addition of some\u00a0Mondrian colour blocking and moto leathers, it all\u00a0drew an apt Mad Max<\/em>-meets-discoteque idea.<\/p>\n

Even Demna Gvasalia, with a penchant for the grim,\u00a0turned to cheeky irony for Balenciaga Fall 2021\u00a0Couture. A splendidly tailored, yet still theatrical,\u00a0collection that romanced Crist\u00f3bal Balenciaga\u2019s\u00a0archives. The organza floral overlays! The oversized\u00a0collaring! The new take on the pillbox hat! The\u00a0bulbous drapery! All drew plenty of applause.\u00a0However, it was Pierpaolo Piccioli who has perhaps\u00a0been most responsible for willing us back into a life\u00a0of sensory whimsy. For Valentino Couture Fall 2021,
\na live runway of kaleidoscopic colour, he offered\u00a0an excruciatingly impressive atelier-led collection.\u00a0It saw a gargantuan of sensorially delighting fabrics,\u00a0exquisite prints \u2013 many created via hand-stitching\u00a0\u2013 and Phillip Treacy ostrich hats that hovered over\u00a0micro-mini party dresses that immediately conjured\u00a0the carefree nights of decades past…and a hopeful\u00a0note for the future.<\/p>\n

Historically, there\u2019s a pattern. Following the end\u00a0of the First World War and the 1918 influenza\u00a0pandemic, culture took the reigns in a generational\u00a0revolution. Ubiquitously known as the Roaring\u00a0Twenties it brought about economic prosperity\u00a0and glitzy, emancipated fashion designed to clash\u00a0against the dreary threads of its past. Similarly, the\u00a0cholera plague of the 1830s in France and England\u00a0saw an uprising of reckless excess among the\u00a0upper classes, as well.<\/p>\n

Financial experts now predict a similar path and\u00a0another post-pandemic \u201cboom\u201d. According to\u00a0The Economist<\/em> the key factors in these times are\u00a0that people spend more, take more risks and want\u00a0more from their governments. The fashion industry\u00a0would certainly hope this is true. Could the\u00a0coming frivolity mean we\u2019re in for a giant tracksuit\u00a0bonfire, laughing from under our oversized\u00a0feathered hats, tottering about in Pleaser platforms\u00a0just because we can? Could even the most Gaga of\u00a0couture now make for viable ready-to-wear as we\u00a0kick up our heels, kiss the dance floor and throw\u00a0caution (and face masks) to the wind?<\/p>\n

Or, perhaps this is just the fever dream of a society\u00a0still largely restricted. Either way, having a lot to look\u00a0forward to is the psychological ticket to getting out of\u00a0this whole mess mind-in-tact. And fashion-wise there\u00a0is a lot to look forward to. A growing sustainability\u00a0outlook including zeitgeisty new production models\u00a0like \u201cFarm To Closet\u201d, a return to live fashion months\u00a0and the second coming of Queen Phoebe Philo.<\/p>\n

Fashion, like all culture, offers an escape of\u00a0wonderment and beauty. One both thought-\u00a0provoking and soul-pleasing. It rounds\u00a0the senses\u00a0and collects the synesthetes among us (people who\u00a0experience several senses from one stimuli \u2013 seeing\u00a0musical notes as colours, for example). The visceral\u00a0pleasure of a new silhouette, a technically tailored\u00a0handbag, a perfect leather shoe. Fashion\u2019s recent\u00a0relegation to fleece and Uggs was, of course, a timely\u00a0necessity but certainly not indicative of its future.<\/p>\n

It may seem superfluous to be planning fashion\u00a0extravagance when much of the world is reeling,\u00a0however this is about evoking potential. While\u00a0dressing up and going out might still seem a\u00a0far-off rainbow, what\u2019s important is that we\u2019re all\u00a0beginning to see the colour.<\/p>\n

\"grazia<\/p>\n

THE FREEDOM<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the end of Bo Burnham\u2019s Netflix special Inside, the character\u00a0he portrays (some say the story is autobiographical, some say it\u2019s\u00a0representational) finally breaks free from the small room in which\u00a0he\u2019s been isolating. He finds himself locked out and cowering in the\u00a0spotlight of the real world. Then, he tries desperately to break back\u00a0in, overwhelmed as the shock of reality returns.\u00a0While a year of hibernation doesn\u2019t necessarily mean we\u2019re now\u00a0a society of agoraphobes, it does mean crossing back into the\u00a0three dimensions of real-time experience could be an assault \u2013\u00a0both pleasing and shocking \u2013 on the senses. \u201cIt will be a great\u00a0relief and quite stimulating, I think for people\u2019s imagination and\u00a0mental creativity,\u201d says Alais.<\/p>\n

At least the damage of deprivation won\u2019t result in a fundamental\u00a0shift in the human make up. Perhaps culture\u2019s ability to fight the\u00a0boredom and monotony is what has been keeping us afloat all along.\u00a0God knows where we would have been without a Tiger King<\/em> here\u00a0and a Handmaid\u2019s Tale<\/em> there. A live-streamed Grammys here and a\u00a0Royal interview there. In taking our senses back to the streets, we\u2019ll\u00a0have a pocketful of life lessons, a new appreciation for nights out as\u00a0well as some finely tuned opinions on pharmaceuticals.<\/p>\n

Does this mean we will never again sweat the small stuff and\u00a0only revel in the privilege of being present? The chance meetings,\u00a0the dinner dates, the crowded bars, the real laughter? The hugs,\u00a0the kisses, the tangibility of common space?<\/p>\n

Idealistically, it\u2019s a great thought. Realistically, and hyperbolically\u00a0though, it will be five minutes before we want more. And more.\u00a0And then more again. That\u2019s how humans evolve. But at least we\u00a0now have some perspective. We\u2019re alive with a sensorial wisdom\u00a0less likely to be taken for granted. Appreciating our fortuitous place\u00a0on the evolutionary table while giving thanks for our good sense,\u00a0our opposable thumbs and for finally having somewhere to wear\u00a0our new Bottegas.<\/p>\n
