Abstract [en]

/ˈfluːɪd/ is a project that explores the retail part of the fashion world. By creating an inclusive shopping experience, this project aims to escape the binary world of clothing stores. Working with second-hand pieces, the goal is not to create new garments, but to give everyone access to the full spectrum of clothes. In that way, /ˈfluːɪd/ aspires to provide a safe place which inspires self-expression and stimulates individuality as well as a sense of togetherness.

Fluidity being the core concept, the proposal addresses different matters, such as gender, size and audacity. To implement gender fluidity, there will not be any gender categorization, but the clothes will be sorted by colors only. Getting rid of the existing labels and producing a new flexible size chart will initiate a personalized experience and harmonize the systems between the different brands. Designing /ˈfluːɪd/ is designing both an experience and a physical space, to provide a place which encourages anyone to express themself in public.
