Dazzle Collective is a Design Probe into co-creation, shared ownership and open source making. Using Zero-Waste Garment making techniques, it reimagines Fashion for a more democratic, accessible and collective context.
Inspired by the original Dazzle Ball that took place in 1919 and featured flamboyant costumes made by the audiences themselves, we invited creators from around the world to co-make and co-design outfits with us. These dress the audiences of DAZZLE for the duration of their visit to the installation.
To create commonality rather than uniformity, but most importantly to ensure usability for any size and shape of audiences that are to wear the outfits, we decided on a set of principles for this co-design process. Participating creators are supplied with a generatively produced and therefor unique print-design and 2.5 meters of printed fabric that are to be fully used.
We are keen to see the Collective evolve into what we hope to be a set of programmes, focussing on the chance to share and combine skills and knowledge.
