I have many casual clothes that are not appropriate for work or more formal settings. This means that I will need to buy more clothes. How can I bridge this gap between the use-value of clothes?]]> 2022-05-24 07:15:48 UTC https://padlet.com/victorialocksa/khunm0n94751w3j3/wish/2197234479 victorialocksa https://padlet.com/victorialocksa/khunm0n94751w3j3/wish/2197236351 I want to create a line of clothing that have multiple purposes. One piece of clothing can be attached or removed in several ways such that it can be worn in formal and informal settings. In addition, these clothings will be made from sustainable and novel fabrics from the ocean, like algae and jellyfish, to promote awareness of oceanic biodiversity and its usefulness to humans.]]> 2022-05-24 07:17:03 UTC https://padlet.com/victorialocksa/khunm0n94751w3j3/wish/2197236351 victorialocksa https://padlet.com/victorialocksa/khunm0n94751w3j3/wish/2197293816 Platform model: Making use of clothes that are not being worn or cannot be worn in different settings or occasions, in order to create clothes that can match the demand for clothes in both informal and formal settings and reduce the amount of production.]]> 2022-05-24 07:56:05 UTC https://padlet.com/victorialocksa/khunm0n94751w3j3/wish/2197293816 victorialocksa https://padlet.com/victorialocksa/khunm0n94751w3j3/wish/2197295908 Economic value: Less is more! You spend on one item of clothing that can be transformed into two or three outfits.
Social value: Has the flexibility for one garment to become 2-3 garments for use.
Environmental value: Reduce the amount of production and the cyclability of a garment that can be used in many ways.
Emotional value: Increasing the use of one garment means that it is used everywhere! Attachment grows.]]> 2022-05-24 07:57:44 UTC https://padlet.com/victorialocksa/khunm0n94751w3j3/wish/2197295908 victorialocksa https://padlet.com/victorialocksa/khunm0n94751w3j3/wish/2197298807 - Consumers who often transition between formal and informal settings and thus have a demand for clothing that can be versatile.
- Producers who are willing to sell less and create environmental value over economic value.
- Designers for product design]]> 2022-05-24 08:00:09 UTC https://padlet.com/victorialocksa/khunm0n94751w3j3/wish/2197298807 victorialocksa https://padlet.com/victorialocksa/khunm0n94751w3j3/wish/2197327706 - Design and Ideation for ways to disassemble and reassemble clothing pieces for multiple use
- Leading to life-cycle extension of a previously single use garment to have multiple lives in several settings]]> 2022-05-24 08:23:57 UTC https://padlet.com/victorialocksa/khunm0n94751w3j3/wish/2197327706 victorialocksa https://padlet.com/victorialocksa/khunm0n94751w3j3/wish/2197328749 Rethink --> Rethinking and using less to have more garments
Repurpose --> Repurposing clothes to have multi-uses]]> 2022-05-24 08:24:47 UTC https://padlet.com/victorialocksa/khunm0n94751w3j3/wish/2197328749 victorialocksa https://padlet.com/victorialocksa/khunm0n94751w3j3/wish/2197364828 I interviewed 10 people from different age ranges and genders, ranging from 15 years old to 65 years old men and women, also including those who identified as non-binary. My main feedback was that it might be difficult to market or sell this idea as people might want to separate their "party" and "work" outfits. In addition, this one garment, multiple fits, idea apparently has been seen before. I think how I will navigate my idea from now on will be to not only focus on having multiple use for the garment, but also market it using the new materials previously explored in the previous module like jellyfish, algae and pineapple.]]> 2022-05-24 08:50:23 UTC https://padlet.com/victorialocksa/khunm0n94751w3j3/wish/2197364828 victorialocksa https://padlet.com/victorialocksa/khunm0n94751w3j3/wish/2197916271 - Unavoidable production waste created: water; CO2 emissions
- Ultimately, while my product aims to increase use of clothes, it still must be newly bought. It does not deal with or expand on people's existing wardrobes.
- It would take a long period of time for people to make changes to their wardrobe before they can transition into this multi-wear clothing line that I aim to create.
- One of the long term impacts is to promote a shift in mindset and lifestyle. Multi-wear clothing pushes people to realise the many different ways they can style one garment, and can lead to individual sustainability efforts in terms of refusing to buy, rethinking if they need a new item of clothing or if they can already reuse what they have in their wardrobes.]]> 2022-05-24 15:39:06 UTC https://padlet.com/victorialocksa/khunm0n94751w3j3/wish/2197916271 victorialocksa https://padlet.com/victorialocksa/khunm0n94751w3j3/wish/2197921862 - Emotional and social value: Creating multi-wear clothing line can make people rethink how they can rewear the same item of clothing creatively. The constant rewearing and reusing can create emotional attachments and attain social recognition for their creativity.
- Financial aids and funding: There will need to be significant funding involved as I am trying to create a business and fashion line from scratch. However, once primary costs are settled and production chains are established, I am optimistic about creating revenue through retail.]]> 2022-05-24 15:43:02 UTC https://padlet.com/victorialocksa/khunm0n94751w3j3/wish/2197921862
