WEEK 03 | 10.10.17

Circular Open Source Fashion

Zoe Romano introduced us to the DIY fashion (do it yourself) and the open source movement.
The main purpose of this topic was to be aware of the alternative systems such as circular fashion, agile fashion, open value chains. Furthermore, we learned about the new fashion tools and how they could be hacked. Finally, as a weekly assignment, we were challenged to create a seamless garment using modular or configurable pieces in a creative way. So, here we go…

THE PROCESS

Ideas & Inspiration

Actually, I got really inspired by Zoe's lecture where she not only talked about the seamless garment that can be made just using modular pieces but also she expressed the idea of empowering a network of small producers (designers & makers) to change the traditional fashion economy. The concept of sharing globally and producing locally is completely accurate to what is happening nowadays in the world.

Well, focusing on the assignment of this week I started reviewing some patterns images to get inspired to design my own configurable pieces to create a garment.

Here are some of them and you can find more on my board on Pinterest if you want to check it out later.

Firstly, I decided to create only one piece as a women garbage (a crop or a top) but later I designed another pattern to be used in a design of a skirt.

Let's have a look at my work!

I wanted to make a skirt so here I learned how to take my measures and basics to create a mold for my skirt.
