sansculottes? get culottes!
At Designmai, Berlin, Ines Tartler and Ulrike Solbrig opened a culottes workshop. Anyone was invited to manufacture their own culottes or to buy one from the sansculottes-collection. "Sans-Culottes" originally was a term naming a faction of rebelling workers during the French Revolution. This connection suits the culottes well, as they have played their role in the revolution of female emancipation.
