. The knitted dresses by Mikuláš Brukner from the series “Precarious Situation” are close-fitting and made of elastic rib knit. They feature exposed curved sections as a common characteristic. Dense areas of knitting alternate with areas in which the thread is loosely continued, creating transparency. The title of the series refers to the social group of the precariat with a very low or irregular income and financial insecurity. Mikuláš Brukner refers to studies by Guy Sanding Flossen, according to which the precariat is determined by negative as well as positive emotions that they experience in everyday life. For him, clothing is also a mediator and trigger of emotions. Holes were created in the knitting structure of the surface of individual items of clothing, through which the tension of precarious life is translated. The lack of rope symbolizes the lack of security. The colours for the collection range from those tones that represent calm to those that are associated with fear and aggression. The clothes thus incorporate the living conditions and emotions of this social group on several levels as inspiration for the designs and translate them into textile structures..
