Inclusive jumper: Re-design of basic jumper to inclusive garments

Year 2016

CHALLENGE

Jerseys are very tight-fitting garments and therefore difficult to put on and take off. Our challenge was to dress, avoiding muscle pulling and minimizing arm movement.

METHODOLOGY

We opened different jerseys by the traditional seams, the inner side seams up to the sleeve and cuff, and the shoulder seams up to the cuffs. The comfort in both cases was questionable, especially the underarm area.
We changed the concept, breaking the jersey at the sides, leaving the back clean and bringing multiple social and environmental benefits

RESULTS

Detachable jumper that can be put on in different ways: 1- at the front and fastened at the back, worn as a jacket, or in the traditional way, passing first the arms or the head.

It is the first garment designed to be produced, sold and bought with the option of spare parts.

Social strategy
