The 5 of us, along with 2 advisers, have one goal: Sustain. Our idea is to fabricate adaptable and sustainable garments. The adaptable garb will be able to be worn over long periods of time, reducing waste. In order to do this, the clothing will be able to be worn for different occasions (formal or casual), for different seasons, and it will be adjustable to body size (growing smaller or growing larger.) Along with reducing waste, we must also consider how this waste will affect the environment. Therefore, we have been doing textile fabrication research, in order to find sustainable fabrics. From different companies, we have found recycled polyester, buttons made out of natural materials, and even recycled zippers from YKK! We will also be testing out our ideas on human subjects to determine wearability, whether it is aesthetically pleasing, and more! We are all SO pumped to be going to DC in April to present our findings!
