NO SIZE

Investigations into the body, nature and technology. A proposal to address the problems of the fashion industry.

Observation and analysis of nature and its behaviour will be the starting point for designing different biological materials that are systemically linked to the body. This presents the possibility of developing a second biological skin that identifies with the user, prioritising biological and ecologically sustainable needs to the detriment of cultural impositions.


No Talle is presented as a response to current problems associated with sustainability and social impact. On the one hand, the fashion industry has consecrated market projects that involve a massive production scale that forces the diversity of bodies to be limited to a few sizes. In effect, the clothing industry determines established patterns that are repeated countless times, varying different attributes but maintaining the same matrix or mold. On the other hand, the accumulation of clothing that is not consumed or discarded not only requires space and logistics resources, but also generates polluting and unsustainable processes. In addition, its manufacture is often carried out through informal production systems, such as clandestine production workshops.


A second skin with greater durability than the garments currently produced would avoid harmful surpluses at an economic, social and ecological level. To achieve this, the role of a designer who is aware of the need for a new approach that encourages the development of social innovation processes within design is key. This approach involves the objective of providing the user with results that are consistent with sustainability criteria from an epistemological framework based on complex and interconnected systems that allow the development of interdisciplinarity.


Lorena Bonilla believes that a new project approach based on the symbiosis between the work of a clothing designer and the work of a biotechnology laboratory is essential in order to generate profound cultural changes in terms of responsibility and sustainability in the field of the textile and clothing industry.
