Transformable Design

When I first started to research transformable design I found that there is really not a great deal written about transformable design, which could explain why it isn't used much in fashion design today. Another reason why I believe that transformable design is not used more in creating fashion, is the proliferation of fast and disposable fashion in the market currently. It has become so inexpensive to by clothes, that people rather than paying more for a garment that has several uses and a longer lifespan, purchase numerous garments for numerous functions. However, an overhaul of how the clothing industry is run and the greater awareness of fashion’s effect on the environment being now very much at the forefront of people’s minds, practices such as slow fashion have started to change the way we see fast fashion and its major pitfalls. Thus I can really see the potential of transformable garments.
