ONE OF A KIND DECONSTRUCT, NEIGHBORHOOD, APPAREL

The concept of DNA not only represents the originality of the genetic makeup of people, but it also serves as an acronym for “Deconstruct, Neighborhood, Apparel.” We are different at the molecular level, and “One of A Kind” aims to reflect that originality in the design of upcycled clothing. The clothing is reworked and provided to the community to show how different pieces can be combined to create a new design. The space looks to reflect DNA by having curvilinear shapes that delineate important zones. The space will also include artificial intelligence that gives users the experience of deconstructing clothes. Overall, “One of A Kind” is a store that will foster community through spaces detonated to remaking, conversating, and embracing our neighborhood resources.

One Last Thing

Branding

“One Of A Kind” looks to instill a community space amongst an affordable clothing shop. The retail space is a derivative of a thrift store, except the brand takes second-hand clothing and upcycles pieces into one-of-one gender neutral clothing. Neighboring apparel stores sell second-hand clothes untouched by the company itself. However, “One Of A Kind” re-works the clothes to create attire that is unique and subversive. In order for the space to hone in on the brand’s sustainable nature, materials will match the recyclable aesthetic of the clothing. At the same time, bold colors and lighting will be implemented in the space amongst the natural materials to inspire individuality and our ability to use the material world to shine. Further, to cater to the community, a design workshop will be available so that more users engage with the teachings of sustainable fashion

The Art And The Artist

Main feature is the ceiling mounted tape measure above the lounge and merchandise. The view also points towards the workshop area where guests can learn how to upcycle their clothing items. Additionally, the digital fitting rooms where clothes that are in stock can be tried on without having to expose oneself to ensure maximum comfort.

Digital Fittings

The digital fitting rooms allow for users to select items that are in inventory and see how they might look on; the items can also be explored in a more tight or loose fit. The scanning technology above helps to gather information of the users in the fitting room, any information can be adjusted manually.
