The &#39;Museum of the Restored&#39; is a project that critically examines archiving practices for fashion, culture, and their global impact. Mettilda challenges the conventional role of museums as static entities and seeks to enhance engagement with decolonistaion through dynamic digital platforms.– Nominated by Julia Crew, Course leader - MA Fashion Futures

Museum of the Restored

The project unfolds the future evolution of craft, as craftsmanship and technology unite in innovation rather than technology as a means to replace craft.&quot;I like the mix of traditional craft with the innovation of tech. It&#39;s great to see a project that unfolds the future evolution of craft rather than technology as a means to replace craft.&quot;– Hannah Middleton, Knowledge Exchange Leader, Fashion Business School, London College of Fashion.

&#39;The New Epidemic,&#39; is an innovative exploration of our evolving bond with Artificial Intelligence, unraveling the epidemic of societal loneliness. Teju&#39;s project offers a glimpse into a future where human emotions seamlessly intertwine with technology, with fashion as a conduit.– Nominated by Julia Crew, Course leader - MA Fashion Futures

The New Epidemic

&#39;&#39;How to Play Like a Girl&#39;&#39; is a project that examines the intersection of video games, digital spaces, girlhood, and the &#39;&#39;girl&#39;&#39; identity, exploring how these elements contribute to the development of a modern concept of girlhood.&quot;I liked how by exploring the intersection of play, media, and culture, this project fosters a deeper understanding of gender dynamics and promotes a more inclusive representation of girls in modern society. It shifts the notion of “girlhood” from binary logic to more liberating and diverse concepts.&quot;– Costas Kazantzis, Lead Creative Technologist, Fashion Innovation Agency, London College Of Fashion

This interdisciplinary project unites Fashion and Geology in an interdisciplinary marriage of research and design. The designer uses playful, interactive installations to engage the public in thought-provoking conversation regarding the after-life of our garments.– Nominated by Julia Crew, Course leader - MA Fashion Futures

The Geological Impact of Garment Waste

The choice of Yohji Yamamoto's FALL 2022 READY-TO-WEAR Look 30 for the creative experiment stemmed from its potential to offer novel insights into pattern development.

This research project addresses the urgent challenge of textile waste in the global fashion industry by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) techniques into zero-waste pattern cutting (ZWPC). &quot;Given the amount of textile waste generated at production stage, there is a need for more effective use of material. Through the integrating of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques into zero-waste pattern cutting (ZWPC), not only does this promote more sustainable practices but would also reduce garment costs, as fabric wastage is reduced.&quot;– Hannah Middleton, Knowledge Exchange Leader, Fashion Business School, London College of Fashion.
