This will have aesthetic implications as materials created from recycled content have a specific look to them, colours are getting more muted and faded plus design decisions are made based on functionality rather than looks. Textiles will mainly consist of reused and recycled yarns, using whatever colours are at hand at the moment of knitting.
XR motion capture technology has advanced to the point where even the faintest traces of a recognizable pattern will be accurately picked up, as such the contrast and complexity of the mocap pattern have been dialled down.
For better or worse, by 2053, most of our conscious living will happen under a layer of, or even fully in the digital world. What we physically wear has become a matter of functionality rather than a means of self expression. To best facilitate that we’ve created the U-Type BB suit. U-type stands for Universal type – The only outfit you’ll ever need - executed in full BYBORRE AO2. Legislation passed in 2050 states that the EU will have to be 100% climate neutral. This has resulted in restrictions on the production of new yarns, pushing the industry to perfect making the most of existing textiles and yarns, so reusing and recycling is at the core of whatever new textile gets produced.
Both garment design and construction have been greatly simplified, the design serves as a template which is then produced hyper locally using materials that have been produced locally and can easily be repaired, replaced and later, recycled in a single step. To this end a new closure system has been developed made solely from woven fabric tape.
From a greater appreciation for our resources comes a greater appreciation and care for our “stuff”, and it is common for a garment to have numerous home repairs, as mending has become commonplace.
Our Smart Textile Passport will contain granular info on previous owners, usage and wear and tear on yarn level through integration of smart yarns.
