REDRESSDESIGNAWARD.COM SUSTAINABLE FASHION EDUCATOR PACK | 1 COPYRIGHT © REDRESS 2019 DESIGN FOR LONGEVITY OVERVIEW WHY SHOULD STUDENTS LEARN ABOUT DESIGN FOR LONGEVITY? - To understand the needs and desires of the consumer during the clothing use stage. - To build a holistic understanding of how their design choices can impact the consumer use phase and environmental impacts beyond the purchase point. - To prepare themselves for future careers in the fashion industry where sustainability will increasingly feature as a critical factor across the entire supply chain, as well as influencing changes in consumer behaviour and the adoption of circular business models. REDRESSDESIGNAWARD.COM SUSTAINABLE FASHION EDUCATOR PACK | 2 COPYRIGHT © REDRESS 2019 DESIGN FOR LONGEVITY INTRODUCTION A NOTE TO EDUCATORS You are strongly advised to begin the lecture with Exercises 1 and 2 (p.41-45). This will provide students with a clear context and understanding of designing a garment for longevity. As with the main lecture content, you have been provided with a number of slides to support the introduction of the topic outlined below. You can find additional references using the links on p.26-28 for further reading. REDRESSDESIGNAWARD.COM SUSTAINABLE FASHION EDUCATOR PACK | 3 COPYRIGHT © REDRESS 2019 DESIGN FOR LONGEVITY INTRODUCTION WHAT IS DESIGN FOR LONGEVITY? - Everything that is made has a lifecycle and both the designer and the user play a critical role in determining its longevity. Longevity is the timespan across which the item remains relevant and useful. As designers it is important to understand that items change with age, and Slideshow #T6DL-01-1 that the use of an item can also evolve over time. - The current linear model of production for fashion and textiles can be wasteful and often results in negative impacts to our natural world (as reviewed in Topic 1: A Garment’s Lifecycle). For example, every second, the equivalent of one garbage truck of textiles is landfilled or burned globally.1 The move towards a circular system enables designers and engineers to recapture and reuse resources including materials, energy, water and chemicals used in the production of textiles and garments. - With this in mind, when considering how to design garments that withstand the test of time, a designer must also consider this new circular system of production and usage. It can be an exciting design challenge to create a garment by first studying how to extend a garment’s usage to ensure it remains actively used (and hopefully cared for) by the consumer. This also adds value to the designer, as no one wants their design creations to be disposed of early or to remain unworn in wardrobes. - Extending the active life of half of all UK clothing by 9 months would decrease the UK’s carbon footprint by 8%, water footprint by 10% and textile waste footprint by 4%, per tonne of clothing.2 Simply put, if a customer is fully satisfied by their garment and it fulfils their needs for an extended period of time, the purchase of additional garments that fulfil the same need could be avoided, thus saving critical natural resources. REDRESSDESIGNAWARD.COM SUSTAINABLE FASHION EDUCATOR PACK | 4 COPYRIGHT © REDRESS 2019 DESIGN FOR LONGEVITY INTRODUCTION - So, how can a designer actually control and influence how long the owner uses their garment for? Whilst there is no easy answer, by considering the many reasons why people discard garments and working backwards to solve these problems as part of the design process, a designer can Slideshow #T6DL-01-2 ensure that a garment has the best chance of long-term use. - It is important to differentiate between making long-lasting clothing and making clothing last longer. Making long lasting clothing refers to the physical aspects of a garment, which can include the garment construction, fibre blend, colour fastness, and resistance to abrasion, odours and stains. Making clothes last longer refers to the psychological aspects which relate to how the user feels about their garment over its life and can include the comfortability of the garment over time, how it looks and feels as it ages (including surface damage and colour changes), the relevance of the style and the emotional link developed with the garment. - Designing clothing with the intention for it to withstand time does not automatically mean that it will remain in the fashion loop. This depends on how the user cares for or customises the item and its function for them. At the design stage many designers do not consider how garments can remain in the fashion cycle longer through the user’s creativity. The Local Wisdom project (started in 2009), is a great resource for designers and showcases the many different ways in which consumers use clothes. It explores interesting practices and how garments evolve beyond the design stage through repair, shared use or adaptation for changing needs, demonstrating the power of users to ultimately control the lifespan of a garment. REDRESSDESIGNAWARD.COM SUSTAINABLE FASHION EDUCATOR PACK | 5 COPYRIGHT © REDRESS 2019 DESIGN FOR LONGEVITY INTRODUCTION - Extending the longevity of clothing through the psychological aspects - by understanding the user’s attachment to a particular garment - can be more difficult to tackle. This is due to the fact that it might not be related to the item itself, but to external forces such as the relevance of the Slideshow #T6DL-01-3 garment’s style within the owner’s peer group, or a sentimental value, for example, if the owner inherited the garment from a significant person in their life. - Garments can also act as a visual cue to represent an identity or opinion which is developed through the user’s lifestyle and experience. For example, designers can take inspiration from Vivienne Westwood who achieves longevity by embedding a shared value into a garment to enhance lasting relationships between garments and their users. An activist and rebel, Westwood is known for using provocative political messages, which resonate with the values of her customers, which they wear as a statement. - By examining both the physical and psychological elements related to the longevity of a garment, we open up the possibility for continuous use over many years and potentially even generations of wearers. On a commercial level this also provides an interesting starting place for designers to explore how designing with longevity in mind can help to cultivate relationships with their customers. - Where may be limiting to add psychological aspects to design for longevity, for example in garments such as underwear, it is advisable to focus on other circular strategies such as design for recyclability instead. REDRESSDESIGNAWARD.COM SUSTAINABLE FASHION EDUCATOR PACK | 6 COPYRIGHT © REDRESS 2019 DESIGN FOR LONGEVITY INTRODUCTION HOW TO APPROACH DESIGN FOR LONGEVITY? - To maintain a clear vision when designing for longevity, it is important to analyse which qualities sit within the physical and the psychological aspects of a garment. - The Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Circular Slideshow #T6DL-02 Design Guide defines a product as being truly circular when there is no end to its life as the item continues to live on indefinitely in different forms. By understanding both the physical and psychological aspects, you will gain the knowledge to map a garment’s journey through its original form, as well as being able to provide users with potential options for other future uses.

  • Capsule Wardrobe’
    THE CAPSULE CLOSET PHENOMENON – A PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDY OF LIVED EXPERIENCES WITH CAPSULE CLOSETS Thesis for Master, 30 ECTS Textile Management Giuliana Heger Thesis-id: 2016.15.05 Date: 3. June 2016 Title: The capsule closet phenomenon – A phenomenological study of lived experiences with capsule closets Publication year: 2016 Author: Giuliana Heger Supervisor: Jonas Larsson Abstract The idea for this paper resulted out of a curiosity for minimalist lifestyle concepts, namely capsule closets and the missing research about this topic as well as the importance of this concept for the society, the environment and the future of the fashion and textile industry. The study describes a phenomenological study in which the researcher explored participants’ lived experiences with capsule closets in order to provide a better understanding of the capsule closet experience. Fixed-interval diaries and semi-structured in-depth interviews with five women were conducted. Using descriptive phenomenological analysis, the researcher identified seven essential themes representing the lived experiences found in participants’ experience with capsule closets: 1) Feeling excited, enthusiastic and determined; 2) Feeling relived and satisfied; 3) Experiencing struggles and challenges; 4) Feelings of guilt and regret; 5) Feeling limited, bored and less creative; 6) Feelings of accomplishment and proudness; 7) Learning experience. These findings both support and contribute to existing literature related to this topic and provide new insights and add new aspects to the knowledge of the capsule closet experience. Keywords: capsule closets, minimalism, minimalist lifestyle concepts, mass consumption, phenomenology, lived experiences Acknowledgement This master thesis was written on behalf of the Master in Fashion Management at the Swedish School of Textiles in Borås, Sweden.

  • Personalized Capsule Wardrobe Creation with Garment and User Modeling
    Personalized Capsule Wardrobe Creation with Garment and User Modeling Xue Dong Xuemeng Song∗ Fuli Feng Shandong University Shandong University National University of Singapore [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Peiguang Jing Xin-Shun Xu Liqiang Nie∗ Tianjin University Shandong University Shandong University [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Original Wardrobe Personalized Capsule Wardrobe Recent years have witnessed a growing trend of building the capsule wardrobe by minimizing and diversifying the garments in their messy wardrobes. Thanks to the recent advances in multimedia techniques, many researches have promoted the automatic creation of capsule wardrobes by the garment modeling. Nevertheless, most capsule wardrobes generated by existing methods fail to consider the user profile, including the user preferences, body shapes and consumption habits, which indeed largely affects the wardrobe creation. To this end, we introduce a combinatorial optimization- Preference based personalized capsule wardrobe creation framework, named Body Shape PCW-DC, which jointly integrates both garment modeling (i.e., Compatibility wardrobe compatibility) and user modeling (i.e., preferences, body shapes). To justify our model, we construct a dataset, named Figure 1: Illustration of the personalized capsule wardrobe bodyFashion, which consists of 116, 532 user-item purchase records (PCW) creation. Given the original wardrobe of a user, a on Amazon involving 11,784 users and 75,695 fashion items. PCW is created by adding (green box) and deleting (red box) Extensive experiments on bodyFashion have demonstrated the some garments. effectiveness of our proposed model. As a byproduct, wehave released the codes and the data to facilitate the research community.

    GLITTER & SPICE CAPSULE WINTER 20 20 WARDROBE GLITTER & SPICE WINTER 2020 CAPSULE WARDROBE Welcome to my winter capsule wardrobe! I’ve picked 26 items (many of which are in my own closet!) that you can mix and match to create well over 500 outfits, no matter the occasion! If that sounds insanely daunting, don’t fret: I’ll show you how! Since many of you messaged me to ask for workwear and weekend outfit ideas, I divvied up this capsule by outfit type (date night outfit, weekend outfit, and workwear outfit) instead of by weather. While I outline over 500 outfits in this guide, that’s by no means all of the possible combinations. Go ahead and mix and match the pieces to make them more *you*! Speaking of pieces, you’ll recognize a few of them from my last capsule wardrobe (like my favorite fleece turtleneck!). I’ve also thrown in a lot of basics like dark wash jeans, riding boots, and a white button-down blouse - if you have similar items in your closet already, use those! No need to reinvent the wheel (or your closet!) here. Also: I made this capsule with a mild Texas winter in mind, so you might need to bring in some heavier-weighted fabrics and/or tights if you live somewhere cooler (aka just about anywhere else). An important note: pages 4 and 5 of this guide are fully interactive: when you see something you want, just click the image on one of those pages. The link to that item will then open in a new tab.

  • Capsule Wardrobe - FALL CAPSULE WARDROBE
    FALL 2019 capsule wardrobe - FALL CAPSULE WARDROBE Thank you so much for downloading my very first capsule wardrobe! Capsule wardrobes have been something my readers have requested and asked me about over the years, but it’s just not something I really had time to dedicate to… until now! This summer I added someone to my team who has helped free up time for me to step outside the box, work on new content and really get creative. As my longtime readers will know, I’m a big believer of investing in high quality basics. While I love to incorporate a trend or colorful piece here and there, having a solid selection of timeless neutrals is the key to a balanced wardrobe. It also happens to be the key to a well-curated capsule wardrobe! For my very first one, I chose 26 pieces that can be effortlessly dressed up or down for any occasion this fall - work, date night/nights out, long travel days, everyday errands and more. In this PDF, I’m sharing 100 different outfits you can create using only those 26 staples! The best part about this capsule? It’s full of pieces you likely already own. Aside from a couple of trendy items (leopard mules, for example), most of the 26 pieces are basics we probably all have in our closets: black skinny jeans, a grey sweater, black pumps... so no need to buy an entire new wardrobe to recreate these looks! In addition to picking up a couple of great new pieces, I’m hoping this fall capsule wardrobe will inspire you to shop your own closet and get more use out of pieces you’ve already invested in.
