This work introduces usable, washable garments made from woven and knitted paper to the field of fashion. With the rise of mass production and over consumption, the value of clothes and textiles decreases, and the pollution from non-renewable materials increases. By utilizing paper in clothes as a new sustainable textile alternative, working with the aesthetics of pleats to elongate the body, and the transformative effects of the corset to build and shape the body, displacing the gender, to work with androgyny as a way to showcase the finish work reference historical gender normatives in Buddhist art. This work depicts a collection with emphasis on the body (wearer of clothing and social construction) and construction (which uses the body and tradition), tradition (expectation and displacement) whilst also working with future issues of sustainability using exclusively paper textile.
