Background
How can users be creatively involved in the design process to achieve a more body-inclusive and sustainable fashion industry? This question is explored by the designer in her graduation project, where she has worked on making co-creation attractive to existing clothing brands in the fashion industry.

Designing inclusive and sustainable fashion together

In collaboration with the fashion company Birger Christensen Collective and their Better Fit project, the designer involves users in the design process to create flexible fashion garments for diverse and changing bodies. The project challenges the working methods of design companies and redefines the values of the fashion industry towards a more inclusive and sustainable future.
