Wear it inside out
Wear it inside out is a critical design project inspired by the global campaign Fashion Revolution Day. Through the question “Who made my clothes?”, activists aim to encourage people to reflect more on their clothing and its origins. By asking these questions, it becomes possible to gain insight into supply chains and working conditions.
After all, most fashion companies produce their goods in an environmentally unfriendly manner and under inhumane conditions. And on top of that, they produce far too much.
traces of the manufacturing process create the pattern
This work shows the handwork needed to make a piece of clothing. Color is used as a means of rendering the sewing process directly onto the fabric. The more complex the cut, the greater the number of required steps, and the more traces of these actions remain visible on the finished piece.
Instead of employing a complex pattern, a deliberately simple template was chosen, a T-Shirt derived from mass production.
The greater the labor involved, the more pronounced the resulting pattern becomes. While it appears to be applied randomly, it in fact emerges from a precise sequence of routine actions, shaped by deliberate gestures of grasping and placing.
The purple color shows the steps in the cutting process, while the black color shows the sewing process. The soiled visual effect of the imitated mass produced garments evokes the severe environmental pollution caused by the textile industry.
