DESIGN NAME: Interactions 2021
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Interchangeable Textile Panels
INSPIRATION: As a designer I am looking for solutions to make sustainable and responsible fashion and empower people to express themselves through garments.
Archigram's Plug-in City concept and the idea of the construction of Centre Pompidou,Paris inspired the adaptability of the garments to each person and the constantly evolving construction.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: In a world of constant changes everyone is permanently looking for newness. ‘INTERACTIONS 2021’ collection is made of panels cut in leftover natural fabrics which are designed to interact with each other and give the possibility to create each day a new garment personalised to your own identity and taste.
This new generation of clothing supports self-expression, reduces textile waste and provides a solution to buy less and wear more.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: This collection is made with fabric panels that could be mixed togethers in different combinations to design new looks. The panels are attached to each other by straps. The purpose is to encourage creativity and personal interpretation of the collection in a playful way
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project was realised in Paris in 2021
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Fashion, Apparel and Garment Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Panels of leftover fabrics that can be attached to each other with silicon straps
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Fabric panels made in 100% dead stock fabric

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: As a designer I wanted to create my own language of shapes. A vocabulary that people can interpretative and mix their own way. This is how the panels were created. I deconstructed each garment pattern to obtain new shapes of fronts and back, of abstract fabric panels to work together recreating new clothes.
CHALLENGE: The creative challenge was to create new shapes that can interact with each other and keep the balance of fronts and backs when they are worn by the person
