Description:

The Emotional Fit Fashion Salon showcases recent research into fashion and ageing carried out by the School of Art and Design at Nottingham Trent University. Focused on co-creativity, this collaborative project considers the changing physical and emotional needs of a group of mature Nottingham women, who will present a collection of garments co-designed on sustainable principles. Research methods including in-depth interviews, wardrobe inventories, and creative workshops have resulted in valuable insights into the participants’ physiological and psychological engagement with fashion and textiles. The findings have informed the development of a series of versatile garment silhouettes, integrating geometric cutting with digital prints to accommodate a range of different body shapes while facilitating individual expression. This event is part of Fashion Revolution Week, 24-30 April 2017, an organisation aimed at raising awareness of the #whomademyclothes initiative.
