The problematic of the fashion designer today is about awareness regarding processes of production. The designer is not only the producer; he is responsible also for the fastness of the new mass-production processes and sourcing strategies. This requires a critical answer since these processes are being fast in eliminating the individual choice, workers rights and are damaging for both workers and consumers. I am currently looking at ways to keep the wearer aware to be able to safeguard his choice in clothing. My proposal for this Spring 2012 was to develop a kit wardrobe: season-less, neutral, unisex and plain - exploring clothing as repetition and sameness. This project meant to question the limits of fashion repeatability and lack of creative input due to the fastness of current fashion calendars.
