WEARABLE AUXILIARIES (2020)

Wearable Auxiliaries is a collection of customizable, egalitarian, modular storage components for garments. From underwear to outerwear, Wearable Auxiliaries add on-demand interior and exterior capacity to clothing. Wearable Auxiliaries envisions a modular uniform with gridded buttons for convertible, customizable storage; although, components are also compatible with any existing item of clothing on which buttons can be sewn. Each modular component is constructed from a no-waste pattern, a sustainable method of design that utilizes all fabric a pattern is cut from. In supporting the acquisition of skill and the continuity of craft, Wearable Auxiliaries offers open-source pattern downloads and installation kits to encourage widespread collaboration.
