Designing for Failure: Transforming Garments for an Extended Life

This survey explores how clothing deteriorates through repeated use and how people respond when garments begin to show signs of physical wear.
Please think of a garment that you have owned and appreciated that has deteriorated over time

I am particularly interested in well loved garments that have become part of our lives, routines and self expression, picking up stories and scars along the way.

This survey is part of a Master's thesis in Fashion Design at Istituto Marangoni and should take approximately 4–5 minutes to complete
