Abstract [en]

Fashion is commonly acknowledged as one of the most environmentally detrimental sectors. Despite growing awareness about sustainability and the slow fashion movement, consumers continue to crave diversity and novelty. With consumers generating a substantial amount of clothing waste, there exists a tremendous potential to repurpose discarded garments by adopting imaginative methodologies that stimulate creative thinking and foster the creation of inventive solutions. This project introduces an innovative outlook on upcycling or dismantling, thereby enhancing their potential for reuse. Through the exploration of dynamic textures utilising floats, the repurposed garments undergo a transformation in both form and expression, imbuing them with a newfound aura of luxury. By embracing the original identity and inherent characteristics of the garments, and integrating them with innovative textures, a harmonious interaction is established between body and materials. By integrating with the floats in knitwear, it engenders a captivating interplay between the floated fabric or yarn and the properties of the cut or float, alongside the negative space or transparency. The outcome is a collection of 12 looks, each unveiling and exploring various possibilities and characteristics of the floats in relation to body and movement.
