Summary: Fashion is in a massive sustainbility crisis. One possible path is to rethink how we perceive already exisiting textile as a resourcce, how we shift the creation of fashion, the repair and modification of our exisiting clothing – in perspective with elegance, style and beauty. As artists and designers, we need to transform our perception of beauty first and create new, desireable goods, that differ from fast fashion and toxic multinational shareholders.
Means:
stacking of local textile ressources / shared ressources / mindset, that values textiles as redesignable ressource, not as disposable item
local redesign, local sewing and fashion making skills + infrastructure
workflow
collection of used textiles in good condition. local storage. local harvest.
local materials available
top down photo of many used textile pieces placed chaotically as a pile on a plain white table surface.
on the table is:
a used army jacket with carmouflage pattern
an oversized thick light blue ski down jacket with white and pink applications
white thin complex lace textile pieces
orange oversized linen pullover
black used jeans
many long thin ropes in black and white
black straps and buckles
outfit generation based on available ressources
generative outfit based on the material collection
full body amateur studio photography of androgyn adult person in dynamic pose,
wearing an experimental, excentric diy handmade oversized collaged textile sculpture made of following materials:
parts of an used army jacket with carmouflage pattern
pieces of an oversized thick light blue ski down jacket with white and pink applications
white thin complex lace textile pieces
orange oversized linen knitware
black used jeans scraps
many long thin ropes in black and white
black straps and buckles.
The textile components are arranged decomposed in a wild, chaotic, and asymmetrical manner and are improvised wrapped to the body with thin ropes, Velcro, and small straps. with overlaps, multi layered, twisted, folded, inflated, collaged.
the cords and straps that hold the outfit together show basic macrame knitting style. inflated down style fat puffed textile elements.
crop top, high neck, hood

speculative sewing pattern – This step can be done with AI generative models in a sketch like approach: as there is almost no precise training data, that connects photo information with cutting patterns, this is almost speculative. With proper trained models, this can reach a pretty precise level of detail.
