Abstract

Dress reflects people’s perceptions, yet it is sometimes vague and uncertain. What will be added or subtracted from dress will help to extend our future. Materials produced or removed from clothing will help to sustain our environment. Materials unsuitable with the environment constitute the bulk of the objects we re-use. This study integrates costume design and materials incompatible with the environment in creative ways. Art, with its various and special characteristics, can create conceptual clothing as a new form of art.  This project conveys conceptual costume design using materials incompatible with the environment in order to send an environmentally sustainable message. Hopefully, with public- awareness, the recycling of incompatible materials can be used in many ways such as ‘costume design’. The main focus and goal of this study is to address this issue.
