Wearing What We Own:

Rethinking Fashion Consumption

for a Sustainable Future

This project, carried out by four people, focuses on issues of sustainability and fashion. Through this project, we realized that human behavior patterns and consumer culture are the main causes of massive clothing waste. We concluded that continuously wearing existing garments and extending the life of clothes is the most genuinely environmentally conscious action.

As an artist and designer, one way to contribute to this issue is by using creative methods to maximize the impact of promoting it. We believe that art possesses a power that transcends political and economic ideologies; as a pure force, it can greatly amplify awareness of related issues.

In practice, we collected discarded carpets to use as hanging fabrics, which can be draped over people, reminiscent of sandwich board walkers on the street. At the same time, we cut discarded fabrics into letters and arranged them into colorful promotional slogans. This may appear a bit humorous, but we believe it is enough to attract passersby to stop and engage. As an actual outcome, this approach has proven effective.
