Distorted to Fit : An Exploration on a Convertible Wardrobe / 2-in-1 Hybrids of Clothing.

This investigation is centred on suggesting a new wardrobe concept of convertible hybrid garments; 2-in-1 designs. The proposed work is in other words, build on the transformative merging of one garment type to another. Through this intertwining, these become two parts of a whole, distorted to fit together in an upside-down position on the body. This alternative approach to garment creation, not only challenges the fundamental relationship between clothing, pattern making, and the body, but also aims to suggest the potential of implementing ‘reverse engineering’ methods, as a backdrop for the contemporary and versatile deconstruction. This work is foremost motivated by a sense of social and sustainable contribution to the field of fashion. Evoked by the prospect of encouraging interaction and providing the wearer more options on how to wear clothing, by proposing designs not fixed to one outcome. Hence, given the versatility of these hybrids, this project also advocates having fewer items of clothing, to bring about a more sustainable alternative to mass consumption.
