INTRO
Fashion is entering an era where adaptability is key to survival. In a world shaped by climate uncertainty, urban mobility, and shrinking living spaces, garments must evolve beyond aesthetics to become versatile tools for everyday life.
This competition challenges designers to rethink the boundaries of fashion through transformable and modular solutions that respond to dynamic lifestyles and incorporate smart, cutting-edge materials. By merging innovation in pattern making, advanced textiles, and functional design, participants will explore how adaptability can redefine fashion as a system of resilience and creativity.
BRIEF
Design a capsule collection of four original pieces that embody the principles of adaptability and transformation. Each garment should offer multiple functions or configurations—such as adjustable lengths, detachable components, or convertible features—addressing real needs in scenarios of climate change, mobility, and limited space.
Candidates are expected to experiment with innovative pattern-making techniques, explore smart or sustainable materials, and develop a design narrative that emphasises versatility and durability.
The goal is to create fashion that adapts to change without compromising style, proving that garments can be both functional and expressive in uncertain times.
