The thesis project dives into exploring the potential of how metal hardware fittings, sourced second-hand, can be used to construct clothing without the use of a sewing machine, while developing new garment silhouettes and shapes. The project builds on research into the field of fashion design which identified a gap in the market for a design practice adopting the use of sustainably sourced metal hardware to construct garments, while opening up new possibilities of how pattern cutting can be carried out, and new shapes and aesthetic expressions achieved - all that by using materials which offer functions that conventional fashion hardware cannot do. Construction techniques in this project are inspired by bespoke tailoring knowledge which is used to create well fitting, tapered garments with a long life-span. The project furthermore highlights the importance of incorporating sustainable pattern cutting and material sourcing practices in design, which is an essential aspect in the author’s design process. Pattern cutting method is based on using only rectangular pieces and all of the available fabric. This Master thesis project therefore aims to explore the potential of utilising unconventional construction methods by specifically using second-hand metal hardware to assemble clothing, and to create new expressions mainly through shape and drape. The development of the thesis collection required a changed mindset regarding how can garment construction be carried out and how can a garment be worn. Metal hardware is incorporated in garments with a changed function to the material’s original purpose - making it more desirable in construction than existing fashion hardware. Audience is deceived by what the true nature of the materials used was, seeing the mate- rials in a new perspective. The result of the project is a collection of seven garment looks, made up of both single-piece and two-piece looks where each garment puts a different type of hardware into focus.
