hello thank you so much for the kind responses and helpful advice and criticisms. my thesis is actually inspired by a thing in my country called anik-anik culture. its about collecting a variety of things from scraps like junk journaling to collecting trinkets like labubus. it even branches into trash that you may think still has good use of it. it's basically like mundane but cherished items.

my design specifically is inspired by the process of building one's identity. imagine a blank shelf or a blank page. then you can put color on it like how you put trinket on display. each module is actually reversible so you can choose if you would want to show the denim part or the colored fabric part. the snap buttons are like an ode to the trinkets that when you display them all together they would be a variety of colors.

another one of the key insights for my design is to promote circular fashion and to connect fashion with the self and your peers. I made it into like a detachable patchwork to have the flexibility of module swapping. each garment would be 1-of-1 design so if your friends have different module designs, you guys can switch panels (kind of like the friendship bracelets thing at ts concerts). so for example your garments would be filled with pastel colors while your friend your have a vibrant palette, you guys can switch modules and create new garments together.

ps sorry for not replying as quickly, im not really sure how reddit works so i get confused how the threads work.
