This physical "living room" space is impacting local by bringing people together and creating a sense of community. Which creates communal value.

Furthermore it is creating awareness, by offering educational elements like workshops and lectures.

It is a space where things are creatied, creating and showing value of garments

By selling second hand clothing and using second hand materials for the workshops and alterations of garments, there will less waste created.

You can't make a direct link between CO2 reduction and this project, as it won't directly impact the amount of CO2 produced. But what you can say is, that it could impact a local environment by educating the people, which in the end will result in a reduction to CO2.

The values of my projects longterm are:

-social value
--> by creating a platform for people to meet, interact, share
knowledge and create a sense of community.
--> by offering education by giving workshops and lectures
--> creating a democratic space where anyone can interact with art

-environmental value
---> By reducing waste and extending the life cycle of garments and
other products (like furniture/books etc)

-emotional value
---> Giving people the opportunity to learn how to alter or repair an
existing piece. Let them create themselves, so they feel more of a
connection to the garment than with any garment you would just
buy from a shop.

A sustainable and socialist platform as a "living room"

From the external test I conducted the following results that give an addition to my BMT:
-a lot of people answered that projects like these exist, but it's a unique combination to have all of these elements combined in one physical space
-we will need permission from multiple institutes & different kinds of  licenses.
-it could be helpful to gather a small group of people you trust for advice. A feedforward, a group consisting of multiple people from different fields, that can help with problems that you come across in their field. Think economists, bankers, but also shopowners, creatives and trendwatchers.
-we will have to look into fundings and their recuirements, to have a start capital.
-A unique way to bring people together and offer new perspectives

-Networking --> to create a community that donate clothing and other products, a network of creatives that want to display their art & to spread the
word to create a costumer base
>Doing so through socializing in real life, but also through social media
(think Instagram, website, e-mail list)

-Making --> experimenting with techniques to upcycle garments

-Organizing --> workshops & events

-Find a physical space/shop

It is a combination between 3 archetypical business models; platform, circular and community based.

Why platform?
We make use of the over capacity of garments.
The majority of people have garments in their closet they don't wear anymore, or for example whole leftover closets when a person loses a lot of weight or someone passes away.

Why circular?
By reselling, altering and updating garments, we give the garments an opportunity for a second life. So re-usage is part of our concept.

Why community-based?
It is a physical platform to bring people together, to interact, learn and share.

I want to start a  physical space together with two friends.  A "shop" as a sustainable and social art platform.

A place where we sell leftover garments and objects (think books, furniture etc.) we get from friends, family, people we know and garments we find. Selling them as they are (second hand clothing), but also altering them to redesign them (upcycling).

Offering workshops where we teach people how to redesign/modernize/alter to fit existing second hand clothing. Workshops like "redesign your vintage piece", "repair your favorite garment", "natural dye the  dullest garment in your closet" etc. Offering different workshops with different skills/techniques, like embroidery, pattern drawing & sewing.

Next to that we want to give young artists we know a platform to show and sell their art. think of a cupboard system where artist can rent a cupboard in our shop, where they can sell their art.

But also a space for cultural and educational events like jamm sessions for music, lectures and poetry.
With a cafe space in it, with coffee and drinks and uncomplicated food (like cake & soup). Where you can sit just like in a living room space.

Creating a physical space to share knowledge , interact and learn from one another. Democratizing the communal space, by not obliging people to but anything or order any food or drinks, an open social space, where everyone is welcome to come to, in whatever state or stage of life.

My dream as a young fashion design student is to bring people together through a platform I create with two friends who are also fashion designers. Finding  a way to bring people closer to conscious/sustainable choices, art and to one another.

There are already so many garments in this world, that there is no need to produce. Rather taking a look at what is possible with the already existing pieces and material there is. Finding new and appealing ways to give them a revival.
