Concept Development - Design Research -
Project Management
An environmentally and socially responsible garment that involves wearable advanced technology. That technology evolves with the wearer’s mood and emotions
The Mood Adaptive Dress is a piece of technology integrated clothing that can change physically according to the wearer’s mood. Its aesthetics can change from a calm to a happy and exciting state, representing the more modest emotions versus the more outspoken emotions. The wearer is in control and can change its state to her emotions, which match the context and scenario she is in.
The project behind the mood adaptive dress came from the urge to design against the current fast fashion industry, which produces a staggering amount of clothing. It is fuelling the consumers’ need to buy more and more while the majority of produce ends up in waste. It is one of the most polluting industries in the world.
This project gives me the experience of being responsible for my own project from the start till the end. Besides thinking about the concept, it was also important to think realistically in order to make the design executable. Finally, the product presentation gave me a lot of project management experience.
