a shapeshifting garment
self-initiated
+ re:action is a speculative garment design and visual investigation of the interactions between clothing, the body and the (built and natural) environment. Through the implementation of an internal wire structure the garment becomes an endlessly malleable form, transforming in response to the wearer’s movements or manipulations and through contact with external forces. re:action embeds the ‘traces’ of interaction into its ever-evolving form, creating a feedback loop between the garment, the body and the environment that encourages the wearer to embrace unpredictability and move towards symbiotic negotiations.
