Is it possible to approach fashion design without imposing a certain model to follow?
What if the wearer could become whoever he is without having to choose a certain representation in his outfit?
This project is about wearables that take shape once the wearer have used them.
The mechanism applied on the material breaks when there is pressure and adjusts to the wearer. By using movement as a catalyzer of change in the object, the textile takes its final form once each person has used it. The design effortlessly adapts to the body’s movement. The aim is to promote tolerance towards difference by encouraging individual diversity. The exhibited pieces show how working with the material allows for the personal appropriation of the garment.
