Dissertation to Design

I have been thinking for sometime how I will relate my dissertation to my design work for this year. And after a great deal of research I have come to realise that the reason that transformable design is not everywhere in fashion design is because in reality it is extremely hard to produce transformable designs that are aesthetically pleasing and practical. However after doing some more research I think that the key to transformable design of a commerical nature is in fastenings. Being able to add, remove and customise products adds greater value to them. So the key is in the fastenings!
