Designing Fashion Technology Garments for Awareness
Article No.: 46, Pages 1 - 6
Abstract
Fashion and fashion technology is a popular medium for bringing awareness to social issues through runway show presentations. However, we do not know what design decisions of fashion technology garments and runway show elements affect how messages of social issues are translated to the audience. My thesis work aims to understand how the design and presentation of fashion technology garments can create a deeper understanding of these messages in the audience. In this work, I outline the process of understanding technology for awareness and how the runway conveys activism through fashion technology. I also present two project designs to explore (I) the creation of an activism fashion technology garment for the runway and (II) ways to make runway events more interactive.
