- I am concerned about the large amount of inventory generated by the apparel market that eventually becomes garbage. Disposing of inventory by incineration and burial is one of the cheapest ways to dispose of it, compared to other sustainable ways. But it is also the most polluting to the environment. Overproduction, overconsumption and clothing waste have always plagued the apparel industry. A huge amount of discarded clothing is disposed of as garbage every year worldwide.
- When you buy a piece of clothing, you may need a pair of pants, a jacket to match it, and your closet is constantly stuffed, which is not what I want to see. I want to design an outfit that offers you multiple possibilities to match, an outfit that can give you multiple different looks, which is what I want to achieve in this project.
I started to think in terms of increasing the utilization of clothing and thought of the modular design that I often see in product design and architectural design, which breaks down a complex structure into different modules for design. Different areas have different roles. I thought if I could put such a concept in garment design, it would be great. So I considered how to modularize garments in fashion design.
