This design work addresses the amount of consumption society partakes in each year. Particularly, the imminent growth of the fast-fashion industry and the evolving focus on micro-trends. The project aims to create a modular component that can adapt and evolve into various styling options with a single piece. This ensures the product's versatility and personalisation, as the design aims to address society’s desire to purchase cheap fashion.
The foundations of this project explore longevity, sustainability, and adaptability. The modular dress was designed to be worn in different configurations, offering a diverse range of options suitable for various occasions. This design challenges society's preconceived notions of fashion cycles and encourages the wearer to use the piece to style outfits curated to their own style.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
