About Turandot Armor Kostum
Industri kostum menghasilkan karya-karya yang menjadi usang ketika musimnya berakhir karena jarang dapat digunakan kembali. Oleh karena itu, sebuah proyek kostum berkelanjutan diusulkan untuk mengatasi masalah ini, yang menghadirkan desain kostum opera menggunakan teknik berkelanjutan seperti upcycling dengan deadstock rajutan dan pembuatan biomaterial dari limbah jeruk berdasarkan ekonomi sirkular. Proyek ini berupaya menggunakan kembali material yang ada dan mengembangkan material baru untuk mengatasi polusi dalam industri fesyen.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- In each production the costume industry generates pieces for each character and at the end these become obsolete because they can rarely be used again
It was from this problem that this sustainable costume project emerged, which proposes the design of an operatic outfit using sustainable techniques such as upcycling and the creation of biomaterials made from orange waste
The project seeks to reuse existing materials and develop new materials in order to counteract pollution in fashion - Dimensions & Packaging
- the dress knitting mesure 80mm x 10mm x 180mm
the armor biomaterial mesure 60 mm x 5mm x 50mm - Tags
- biomaterial, upcycling, deadstock, sustainability, costume design
- Production Technology
- For the armor, the circular economy theory was used, taking advantage of orange peel waste for the production of biomaterials, made with gelatin, glycerin and the orange substrate.
The dress was made from reusing deadstock knitted fabric, using the quilting technique to generate the patches and color gradient in the piece, everything was handmade. - Design Challenge
- the hardest part of the design was the funcionality of the project, with the upcycling tecnique using knitting deadstock, and the elaboration of the formula with the orange sustrat in the biomaterial.
- Research
- We sought to impact the costume industry through sustainability and innovation, the piece was for an opera singer which implied movement and comfort. We use design thinking for our research, doing interviews, searching for sustainable materials and technology that would help us
Regarding biomaterials we experimented with many fruit substrates up to orange peel, which has the best properties.
As for the dress, we had many fittings to see the feasibility in terms of weight, structure and comfort so that she could perform. - Inspiration
- The costume is inspired by Giacomo Puccini's Turandot opera, which symbolizes the princess's self-confinement in the face of interpersonal relationships, which is why her face is covered with an immense neck that protects her from love. An Upcycling tecnique was used with the patch-working, reusing textile waste to give it a second life.
In the same way, an armor made with substrate biomaterials from the orange waste, represents the sentimental barriers of Princess Turandot. - Project Duration
