THE VALUE OF THINGS

Research Module Report 

​

Can the concept of value encourage connection to our clothes?

An investigation into the things we love and the nature of value.

From the perspective of designer, researcher and activist it is my intention to use my work to educate the onlooker, through provoking thought on issues of quality, value and connection.

To achieve this, it was imperative that the visualisation of my work was underpinned by sound theory and a deep understanding of the sentiment that initiated its creation.

A mixed method approach of grounded theory and autoethnography was used to investigate the concept of value, to establish a deeper understanding of the circumstances and motivations behind the regard we have for cherished objects.

This research seeks to reinforce the concepts at the heart of my masters project in order to promote a more sustainable approach to fashion consumption.
