Circular Open Source Fashion

Initial thoughts

Paper and pen are again my friends to organize my thoughts and set preferences. Even later the preferences might change, it still helps to reset the preferences knowing the flow and details I have brainstromed.

So, based on the handbook and my artisitic practice, I set my to-do this week:

  • do research about circular design and fashionn, designers who had achieved circularity and enrich my knowledge in fashion adn design in general

  • master new sofrware like Ai, Fusion 360 etc

  • try papercut modules

  • create my own tessallation

  • beewax old denim for my modular accessory. Denim is donated by the community for my previous environmental project. About the project see in my LinkedIn.

  • lasecut the modules after testing and following the safety rules

  • assemble them

  • document everything!

Final thoughts

  • What did I learn? What did I personally find interesting or surprised me?
  • What would I do differently? If something "failed" do I know how else to tackle it now?"
  • How does this connect to my final project or my learning trajectory?
  • What are implications and possible applications, think also from the ethical or environmental aspect, how it could connect to your practice and project?
