About Escape Odjeća za odvajanje od posla

Escape je odjevni komad za žene dizajniran kako bi pomogao nositeljici odvojiti se od posla. Escape omogućuje brzu promjenu između rada i odmora, tako da formalno odijelo ili košulja postaju ležerna odjeća za slobodno vrijeme u samo nekoliko sekundi. Elastične trake i remenje koje se povlači omogućuju tu transformaciju. Povlačenjem kravate oslobađa se veza između dijelova odjeće i omogućuje njeno drapiranje, što u potpunosti mijenja dizajn. Escape je izrađen tehnikom krojenja bez otpada, a otpad tkanine održava se ispod pet posto. Namjera je podržati psihološko odvajanje od posla nakon radnog vremena.

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.
Tags: Womenswear Design, Zero-Waste Pattern, Sustainable Fashion, Healing Garment Design, Fast-change Garment, Psychological Detachment, Workwear Design
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.
