Design Principles
made with time is a slow practice of making that tests possibilities of fashion in a posthuman context. made with time acknowledges the agency of non-human entities across the process of design.
made with time treats “time” as a constitutive element, it is both an integral part in the life of materials and in the production of new wearables.
made with time develops at the confluence of cultures, histories, wearing practices, and environmental agents.
made with time disrupts western-centred fashion practices and foregrounds transnational encounters between materials and techniques of making.
made with time reimagines established dress typologies such as the sukajan “souvenir” jacket, the aloha shirt, the corset etc.
made with time implies making new wearables out of aged materials and established dress typologies. made with time treats traces of time: marks, stains, holes, patches or threads, as constitutive of an archive that speaks for the materials’ existence and encounters with different life forms. aged materials can be kimono, haori, obi, juban, trainers, shorts, jackets, hoodies, and the like.
made with time does not follow the conventional model of seasonal fashion production and consumption. made with time does not follow conventions of gender division. each made with time piece is unique, they have their own identity and personality. each made with time is gender fluid.
made with time is a collective of practitioners in the arts and design working in collaboration with animate and inanimate matter: bacteria, fungi, water, sunlight, air, time and many others.
