LOCAD is in the pursuit of providing a comprehensive service in the field of costume and design, encompasing all manner of human experience as expressed through dress.
Fashion has always been the mirror of history in every aspect – social strata, culture, political and religious identity. Humanity has through the ages expressed intangible ideals and concepts of society through manner of dress. Clothing has become an integral part of how we function as a society. Preservation of its history and the cataloguing of its evolution bring a more vivid dimension to our own history and culture.
In order to create a greater understanding of how clothing is intrinsic to the ‘Social Human’ and the evolution of ‘Society’, LOCAD achieves this through research and production services, various printed mediums and publications to name a few.
