The Upcycling and Reconstruction of Garments and Fabrics

Abstract

The reconstruction of clothing and fabrics is also called the “secondary treatment of fabrics”. It usually challenges the reorganization of the original form, transforms the original single fabric style, displays new effects, and performs more unique definitions. Redesign requires minimizing its negative impact while exploring its more considerable positive contribution to society. Designers need to act as a role of “interpreter”. They translate the original products into more responsible ones, not only to be innovative but also to avoid harming the environment. In the perspective of recycling design, I will re-define different substances, adopt the secondary design of fabrics and the re-transformation of waste clothing. It is critical to emphasize that products should be natural and eco-friendly.
