The Design
About Escape Prenda para la desconexión laboral
Escape es una prenda de moda femenina diseñada para ayudar a quien la lleva a desconectar del trabajo. Escape permite un cambio rápido entre el trabajo y el descanso, de modo que un traje o una camisa formal se convierten en ropa de ocio informal en cuestión de segundos. Las bandas elásticas y las tiras de las que se puede tirar hacen posible la transformación. Al tirar de la corbata se libera la conexión entre las secciones y la prenda cae con drapeado, lo que altera por completo el diseño. Escape está confeccionada con un patronaje de residuo cero, y el desperdicio de tejido se mantiene por debajo del cinco por ciento. La intención es favorecer la desconexión psicológica fuera del horario laboral.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- In this project, I created a swift switch between on and off-work status through quick changes of clothes so as to help the wearer quickly get rest. In the meantime, I practiced zero-waste tailoring to achieve "single piece in two-way dressing," embodying the sustainable fashion concept from every detail of the cloth.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Throughout the project's pattern making process, I used zero-waste cutting techniques in the whole project, ensuring fabric waste was kept to less than 5%, thus adhering to the principles of sustainable fashion, minimizing fabric waste during the production process.

- Production Technology
- In my research, I found that people often habitually pull their ties downward or unbutton their collars after work, so my first development direction is to study how to quickly change the shape of clothing through wearers’ movements.
- Inspiration
- The inspiration for this project came from the WeChat message prompt sound that kept coming to my mind after work.
In today’s society, it is difficult for people to truly detach themselves from work. Psychological detachment refers to the withdrawal of individuals from the working state at both the time, space and psychological perspectives after work, so that the individual is temporarily away from work in both physical and mental aspects. - Project Duration
- The project started in February 2023 in Beijing and finished in May 2023 in Beijing, and was showed in Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology Graduate Fashion Show in June 2023.
- Operation Flow
- I mainly researched two ways of making the fast switch possible: plasticity of elastic bands and pullable straps. Work outfits like serious suits and shirts can be turned into casual leisure outfits by certain adjustments within seconds.For example, applying a necktie to unfasten the connection between different sections to drape the garment so as to completely alter the design.
