Digital Fashion Design from the Upcycling Brand Re;code - Focus of TR Pattern Techniques -

업사이클 브랜드 래;코드의 제품을 활용한 디지털 패션디자인 연구 - TR 패턴 기법 중심으로 -

This study explores sustainable fashion by addressing waste and pollution challenges caused by the fashion industry. It focuses on repurposing surplus garments from Re;code, a leading sustainable brand, to propose versatile and wearable upcycled designs. These designs aim to extend product lifespans, promote sustainable consumer choices, and reduce the fashion industry's environmental and social impact. Using TR pattern techniques, such as 3D Pattern Puzzle and Box Integrations, combined with the 3D CLO program, the study simulated new designs from surplus garments, like a men's sweatshirt enhanced with Abigail tape and denim material from jeans' belts. This innovative process highlights the potential to transform discarded materials into creative and functional garments. Sustainable fashion, the study argues, must be a continuous effort rather than a short-term solution. By integrating Re;code's modular design philosophy with TR pattern techniques, the research demonstrates diverse possibilities for reconfiguring module sizes and shapes to create eco-conscious options. This approach presents a new paradigm in fashion, balancing environmental responsibility with creative design to offer unique and sustainable products for consumers.
