dc.description.abstract |
Emerging trends, fast fashion and the current patterns of consumer behavior leads to overconsumption which traces a negative impact on sustainable practice. It is observed that the current patterns of unsustainable consumption results in a variety of wastage problems including materials. To overcome this issue, the industry has developed innovative techniques, yet fabric wastage has become the main concern. Considering jewellery, metals as a nonrenewable material should be thoroughly concerned under this matter due to its preciousness and expensive manufacturing processes. Thus, this paper aims to discuss a potential sustainable approach addressing the overconsumption of metals via body-adornment. It was revealed that the concept of ‘transformability’ and its application occupies the sustainable strategy. Thus, the main objective of this practice-lead research is to provide a sustainable solution for overconsumption in jewelry industry through transformable adornments while fulfilling the desires of the contemporary consumer. The research is based on a series of experiments on body-centric transformable adornments. A theoretical framework on ‘wear-ability’ was involved to provide a dynamic experience to the wearer. The outcome of the research is a collection of conceptual body-adornment. The feasible capacity of transformable jewellery was the main finding of the research along with the capability to develop this idea into commercially viable sustainable designs. |
