Final Project
The rapid growth of fast fashion brands has led to an increasing number of consumers seeking to keep up with changing trends by buying more clothes at a lower price. As a result, there has been a dramatic increase in the amount of discarded clothes being incinerated in landfills, causing irreversible impacts on the environment. This project aims to give a second life to unwanted clothes by designing a recycled clothing brand that takes consumers’ unwanted clothes as raw materials and transforms them into new branded garments through a series of creative transformation methods.
As part of the promotion, this brand concept book tells consumers about the brand concept using an illustrative game to chart the clothings & users’ rebirth.
In order to express that various clothing can be combined and transformed again, Cinema 4D was used to make six kinds of fabrics. They were then displayed together using ropes as a symbol of an interweaving thread between the brand, clothing and consumer.
The brand website helps consumers with the same values to build a community alongside creating a shopping platform.
Different fabric textures represent different clothes, using six models in a simulated fashion show.
