Time Experiment

Year 2019

The first question of the project was ‘’what is time for you?’’. And the first feeling that came to my mind, was that I always had a stressful relationship with time. It is passing by very fast. I have to run, I have to follow it. The same feeling that I have for fashion. There is no time for creativity and detailing for designers, and no time to follow all the latest trends for customers. Factories are mass-producing and the fashion industry is polluting the planet at a continuous rate.

This project represents the short and fast life circle of a garment. I started with the idea of creating a video with several experiments, where I tried to wrap and unwrap everyday materials in order to create clothes without thinking about the form. The main cloth should look cheap, easy, and unfinished. Plastic is the main material of the experiment, as a symbol of pollution in the fashion industry. This is a conceptual collection, as a manifesto against fast fashion. As a question for designers. We have to take responsibility, and the current goal is to create all these forms from recycled or eco-friendly materials.
