Morphogenesis in Motion explores how textile design can drive sustainable fashion by reimagining garments as living, adaptable systems. Drawing inspiration from cellular behavior, specifically how cells grow, divide, and interconnect, the project translates these biological principles into modular textiles using knitting and laser-cutting techniques. By challenging traditional garment construction, the design methodology places fabric structure at the core, allowing the textiles, combined with drawstrings, to define form and function. Extensive prototyping resulted in modular garments composed of interconnected pieces, each designed to interlace via drawstrings. This modular system invites wearers to actively reshape, personalize, and creatively interact with their garments, fostering emotional attachment and longevity. Balancing tactile craftsmanship and digital precision, the collection creates a dynamic dialogue between material, form, and the body. The garments evolve through user engagement, challenging static notions of clothing consumption. This approach embodies circular fashion principles, advocating for garments that are versatile, resilient, and emotionally durable - inviting thoughtful reflection on how we wear, value, and sustainably interact with our clothing.
