Metamorphosis with(in) fashion: futuring through a new fashion design framework

Current global fragility calls for fashion design to embrace and take part in Transformation through Transition to more desirable futures with(in) both physical and digital dimensions of reality. The digital and sustainable transition are trampling these dimensions in a disruptive and mutual way, providing fashion design with a new research landscape.By conceiving a research framework for the advanced design culture in the Transformation Era, the contribution starts from the hypothesis of research of a human-decentered paradigm. Hence, the paper will explore ongoing contemporary transformations with(in) fashion design in both the physical and digital side of reality, discussing the new design parameters and approaches related to wearable products. The aim is to contribute to a broader debate to help develop fashion products able to promote the next consciousness of fashion through more-than human values.
