The Coat worn over the Layered Top and the Pleat Trousers<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Living Wardrobe<\/em> is a series of garment prototypes that comprise the basic components of an everyday wardrobe.\u00a0 Six different garment types are included: a dress, skirt, coat, top, culottes, and trousers.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTogether, the garment prototypes form a series\nrather than a collection.  While they are\nlinked stylistically through complementary silhouettes, design features,\ncolours and fabrics, the garments are not described or presented here as a\nfashion collection is typically understood: a range of complementary garments\ndesigned in response to a specific season\u2019s trends and weather. \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use-forecasting<\/h3>\n\n\n

The garments are designed and manufactured following a design process that takes into account likely future use and re-use, I call this ‘use-forecasting’. In fashion design, it is usual to design according to a ‘trend forecast’ so why not a ‘use forecast’ too?<\/p>\n

Changes the wearer might like to make have been pre-empted so that adjusting waist lines and replacing worn parts is achieved simply. \u00a0Buttons are used in place of zips or studs so they are easy to move. \u00a0Areas of wear are reinforced so the reinforcements wear before the garment does- they can be simply cut out when worn and replaced if desired. \u00a0The Layered Top<\/a><\/u> has been made with cuffs and bands\u00a0in a contrasting fabric so if necessary, they can be replaced one day with something new, without the stress of matching fabric, anything black and stretchy will do. \u00a0There are tutorials<\/a><\/u> and resources<\/a><\/u> to assist with these changes, encouraging wearers to have a go.<\/p>\n

Beyond ensuring repair is as easy as possible, each garment is constructed in an ‘open’ way so the wearer can even make changes I never thought of- seams can be readily opened and generous seams and hem\u00a0provide that bit\u00a0of\u00a0extra fabric. \u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
