Made to Fade : An exploration of extending the lifetime of a garment through natural printing in combination with flat piece garment construction.

Abstract: This work serves as an exploration of how garments life can be extended through the possibility of updating it post-use with natural pigment printing. Flat garment construction is explored for the possibility of taking garments apart to update them with print during their lifetime. The technique of naturally printing in combination with flat garment construction can potentially lead to garments that will change over time, dependent on the wearer which creates an emotionally durable design, writing the history of time into the garments.
