My-x transforms the way clothes are made, sold and designed. Through customisation of waste fabrics and their reconstruction, we can achieve “wardrobe surgery” as a tool for saving resources and longevity. In history, mending and quilting were connected with poverty. My-X is a statement saying we can not afford to work with and produce more materials not only because of the problematics with poverty but principally because of sustainable poverty caused by extracting natural resources at high speed. My intervention offers an opportunity to bring customisation into these processes and therefore is an intersection between traditional techniques and emerging technologies.
