After our presentation and tutorial, we have decided on a direction to take for our research and decided to Focus on upcycling in our presentation we were looking into future and sustainable living how we might be affected and changes we may have to make to our life style. Taking this into a more fashion/trend context we are going to look at how our new direction into our research can relate to textiles. Focusing on sustainability, long lasting, biodegradable matrials, also what we can make from resources we already have, what aspects can we take from exsisting materials so that it is practical and not just fashionable?
We began by looking at protection. We thought about how that looked in nature and identified animals such as turtles and armadillos. Then we looked at fruit and thought of oranges and the skin that protects the precious fruit, and nuts, where the shell protects the nut. When we looked at clothing, we thought about items such as body armour that the police use, knee pads and elbow pads the mountain bikers and snowboarders wear.
