Research Title: Unpicked: Historical Refashioning Skills as a Foundation for Sustainable Clothing Design
Owing to the shifting value of clothing both economically and culturally, the majority of the surviving garments have been altered or repaired. By conducting an object-based analysis of historical clothing circa 1750 - 2000, which has been refashioned, restyled or even created from previous garments, I am exploring how this analysis could form a foundation for designing contemporary sustainable clothing.
