Since the dawn of time, humans are obsessed with "power" and "control." 1.5 million years ago, these urges were justifiable since they are also animalistic instincts. The desire to control and to gain power grew every day. This drive helped humanity to evolve by domesticating animals and using their strength to fulfill their needs. But what about the harness, the symbol of control? Throughout this thesis, the different ways of use of harness will be explored. The historical approaches will be inspected under the themes of "Power and Control" and "Adornment," while the contemporary ways will be divided into five subthemes; "Athletic Functions," "Hip Hop," "BDSM," "Punk" and "Edgy Fashion."

Abstract
Since the dawn of time, humans are obsessed with "power" and "control." 1.5 million years ago, these urges were justifiable since they are also animalistic instincts. The desire to control and to gain power grew every day. This drive helped humanity to evolve by domesticating animals and using their strength to fulfill their needs. But what about the harness, the symbol of control? Throughout this thesis, the different ways of use of harness will be explored. The historical approaches will be inspected under the themes of "Power and Control" and "Adornment," while the contemporary ways will be divided into five subthemes; "Athletic Functions," "Hip Hop," "BDSM," "Punk" and "Edgy Fashion."| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
