INDIGO - a collaboration project between Fashion Design and Textiles & Fashion Media and Industries. With the sub-theme Past-Fashion-Future, research focuses on Japanese mending technique - Boro Boro and Sashiko stitching. Taking inspiration from the traditional Japanese garment - Kimono, fusing with the brand ideology of gender-neutral, our very first collection of Room4-03 is made from recycled denim with textiles that re-interpret the traditional mending techniques - Boro Boro.
With the social situations in the past 5 years, the openness to sexuality in dressing is more prevalent. However, in Asia, body image and the style of dress is still far behind and has not caught up with the rest of the world. Although being a niche market, the gender-neutral dressing is seen to be on a rise of demand regionally. This is most commonly seen in streetwear. However, females in masculine silhouettes, as compared to males in feminine silhouettes, are much more accepted. Thus, to bring balance to this issue we aim to embrace both these silhouettes and create a gender-neutral line of garments. For our first collection, it will incorporate the colour indigo and the Boro-boro ideology. Two themes that share a common trait of neutrality and non biasness with our brand mission.
