‘Wearable Tapestries’ puts the relationship we have with our clothing in another perspective and questions the current relation we have with our clothing, within an industry in which we consume and waste too much.
From a different perspective on clothing to multifunctional design
This project originated due to an affinity with textile, making of prints and an interest in the sustainability of the fashion industry.
Is it possible to change our view on clothing by making this multifunctional?
‘Wearable Tapestries’ does this by combining fashion and art. Which has resulted in a mixed medium with a double function, making the piece both wearable as a piece of clothing as well as a decorative tapestry.
The piece of clothing has been designed in such a way that it can easily be transformed into a tapestry. Because of its double function the design asks to question what it is the buyer actually purchases, thereby extending the cycle of usage of the clothing piece/tapestries.
