The London College of Fashion MA Fashion Futures course launched a project on speculative and futuristic denim apparel based on sustainable denim, which was supported by The Sustainable Angle, a non-profit body from UK and Kassim Textiles (Pakistan).Through the Future Fabrics Expo, The Sustainable Angle facilitated the sponsorship of the latest project from LCF’s MA Fashion Futures course, and sponsored by Kassim Textiles.This is a project that exercised the practice of speculative design. The aim of the project was to use design as a media to catalyze social discussion and debate over what life could be in the near future, to explore how to create clothes that make people think.
One of the student’s projects contemplated using five steps to achieve that (Image credits – all images are from Caroline Yan Zheng’s (student at LCF ) project ‘Wearable Data’)

1. Choose Data

According to RAY KURZWEIL (author of the singularity is near) the average $1,000 laptop should be computing at the rate of the human brain in fewer than 9 years (that is the year 2023). Fast-forward another 23 years (that is the year 2043). and average $1,000 laptop is performing 100 million billion billion calculations  per second – which would be equivalent to all the brains of the entire human race.

2. Visualize Data

3. Create Pattern for cutting and moulage

4. Create forms on body & experiment on finishing
