Reimagining Fashion Post-Individualism (2024)

A speculative design project exploring how fashion may function within a future society shaped by ecological responsibility and collective values beyond individualism. The project imagines a post-individualistic world in which humans, technology, and nature are more deeply interconnected, proposing alternative relationships between the body, material systems, and the environment.

At the macro level, the project develops a fictional eco-socialist society named Pangaea (2124), where garments act as bio-adaptive interfaces supporting symbiotic relationships between individuals and ecological systems. Design exploration includes speculative materials such as chitin-inspired structures and bio-integrated layers that symbolise collective consciousness, environmental interdependence, and shared responsibility for planetary care.

At the micro level, a short film visualises everyday interactions within this imagined society, portraying how fashion may facilitate new forms of connection between humans and nature. Through moving image, performance, and costume, the project communicates themes of collective harmony, ecological awareness, and interconnected living.

The project is presented through both a speculative design portfolio journal and a short film, documenting the conceptual research, visual development, and narrative world-building that underpin the proposed post-individualistic fashion system.
