Well, after 6 months of work and research, the project - the garment "sustainable" - coming to an end ... Here is the summary:
RE-ACT
... collections of unique pieces!
While the concept of sustainable development is increasingly present in our Western countries, solutions to align themselves lacking and this primarily because today's society is based on over-consumption, a behavior opposite of a sustainable approach . While many changes were made in the fields of transport and food, clothing environment is often poorly treated as subject to fashion phenomena, it is more complex to solve. Despite efforts made towards ethical fashion (shape, composition of the garment), nothing is proposed to change the purchasing behavior, while this is the main problem: the overuse and thus overproduction of textiles. This service aims to provide a solution to the question: How can need replacement clothing and non-consumerist attitude?

Composition of a dress for example.

All garments are unique in that compounds clothing original client.
RE-act is a new service offering local people to recycle their own clothes to afford a new piece unique and tailor-made. It is aimed mainly at the low-consumerist looking for originality and uniqueness of a new experience of the garment.
RE-act and offers them an attractive alternative to the consumption of new textiles. But it also allows any consumer sensitive environmental issue to be pleased by the acquisition of a new play, while having good conscience to act eco-responsible. Customers bring their old clothes shop, choose among the cuts available and order their new clothes, custom made from their own clothes.
The service model RE-act fits in perfectly with the current demands of local shops, and local production. The seamstress positions are also opportunities to create jobs reintegration, which installs RE-act in a global logic of sustainable development.
Values Identity: The Re-creations act combine original and without much change their original form of clothing not worn for many reasons: stained, old-fashioned, wrong size ... The new clothes and has an emotional value added due to the past of recycled clothing. The identity of the concept lies in how to rearrange the clothes.
Use Values: The RE-act approach is unprecedented in the field of clothing because the consumer is directly integrated into the design of its new product. He is an actor of his consumption, it is he who made the choice to recycle a particular garment and how it layout within the new composition. In shop, he is helped by the seamstress who is consulting his disposal.
Technical values: Each model is associated with a double sheet, one for the client (your choice), one for business (manufacturing). The optimized design (little work cutting) allows for models manufactured between 20min and 1h, and prices not exceeding 30 euros.
