tailor was born from a speculative, UX project. It is heavily driven by research and, problem solving. The issue that I address is how fast fashion contributes to a lot of global waste. How the cuture of fashion can be elitist and does not cater to individuals.
tailor offers a sustainable and streamlined clothing service that is available to users anytime and anywhere. It achieves this by digitizing wardrobes, enabling users to access a vast array of clothing options from the comfort of their own devices. This approach reduces the need for physical clothing production, resulting in a reduction in environmental waste.
