Abstract [en]

The fashion industry is permeated by overconsumption. Mass production, low prices and speed of turnover of trends lead consumers to perceive clothes as disposable objects. The resulting throwaway culture adds to the already problematic environmental impact of the fashion industry. To shift this state of affairs, we propose wardrobe interventions, a method that uses experimental design practices to collect insights and promote more active engagements between wearers and worn by leveraging the notion of material agency. We describe two projects used to develop and verify the method, to demonstrate how foregrounding the agency of clothes can enhance values embedded in wearer-worn relationships, and potentially shift consumer actions.

Abstract [pt]

A indústria da moda é permeada por hiperconsumo. Produção em massa e preços baixos associados à tendências fazem com que consumidores percebam roupas como descartáveis. Essa cultura do descarte soma aos já problemáticos impactos ambientais da indústria da moda. A fim de sugerir mudanças para este cenário propomos intervenções em guarda-roupas, um método que parte de práticas experimentais em design para coletar ideias e promover engajamentos mais ativos entre usuários e vestíveis, tendo como suporte a noção de agência material. A partir de dois casos, usados para desenvolver e verificar o método, demonstramos como é possível intensificar valores presentes nas relações usuário-vestível através da percepção da agência das roupas, e, potencialmente, alterar ações de consumo.
