Sweeper
State of tattered, make the best of everything.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
The collection is inspired by street cleaners from the 16th century to the present. In fact, the importance of street cleaners in different eras cannot be ignored. I wish to use this as an inspiration to show a new style for street cleaners. The design concept is about different things used by or related to street cleaners, such as their tools for cleaning, street tiles pattern, and the materials used for making their work outfits. By reorganising and merging materials to create a unique garment design, the concept aims to bring a breakthrough and revolutionary changes to the style of uniforms for street cleaners. The design conveys a taste of mix and tatter, which is materialized on the garment itself.
PROJECT CONCEPT
The clothing line mixes natural fabrics with a collection of different materials. Photos of real modern street scenes, together with digital printing on old natural fabrics, create a strong contrast between modernity and history. Meanwhile, mixing the texture of different materials allows us to explore the possibility of some new outfits by recombining old and new designs.
