Sukin -スキン– Expanding Human senses

Concept – Biotechnology applied toSport Garments

Theidea…

I have alwaysbeen interested in materials and in sports and one ofthereasons why I got involved in theFabricademyprogram is because I would liketoworkordevelop a wearable with Biomaterials andapplicable in theSports eld. First I thought aboutincluding technology, andsensorsand circuitsthat could becool, butthen I realized that I did not wanted tocontributefrom this perspectiveas manytimes technology isobsoleteshortlyand the circuit components are thrown away, I did not wanttodevelop somethingthat at its end use willcontaminatetheenvironment. Everythingshallbethought tobedisposableafter its use without any impact in theenvironment, so thereis noneed tothinkaboutits takeback logistics or itsreuse.

Then I thought: OK , I will focus in biomaterials and biotechnology that interact with the human being while it is doing sports, either acting as a receptor of signals or either as an active actor sending inputs to the human body

From this perspective I thought: We all use clothes, and our clothes could be thought as a second skin, sending and receiving singals from/by the human body - and this is the poin t when Sukin was born who

People who do sport Athletes

Sport Centers

Clothing Manufacturers

Perfume Manufacturers

Materials that work as a second skin expanding the human senses

Garments that show us what is happening to our body

Materials that interact as a second skin with the human sweat

Single use garments that Bio-degradate or Bio-decompose naturally after use

At the moment when people do exercise

Outdoor and Indoor environments where people exercise

Why

The fashion industry is the second largest polluter of the environment.

The fast fashion segment aims at a fast production and disposal of clothing, slow fashion seeks timeless and durable garments

The environment is being affected and people's consumerist mentality does not change easily.

Current manufacturing process involve toxic substance and materials harmful to the environment and human beings
