A good solution to reduce the high impact that laundry has is to design garments that don’t require any washing. A very small group of people have already decided to stop washing clothes, resisting the social pressure.
What if we design a garment that is updated with each stain? So, the clothes would be different every time you wear them and it would be a sign that you like that garment. In this way, the consumer would be both designer and the garment would be unique and personal.
Becky Earley and Kate Fletcher designed a sweater between 2002 and 2003 called "no wash" in the 5 ways project, which was developed as a response to a laundry journal that documented 6 months of laundry habits of a garment.
The garment has surfaces that can be clean with a cloth in areas where you may have stains and extra ventilation in the armpits. This sweater has been used regularly for years without washing it.
I leave you the photo, taken from their page and the link where you can know more about this kind of garment.
Also I leave another link of another of their pages in which they have very interesting things: http://www.tedresearch.net/research/detail/5-ways/
Like washing, the steam from an iron cause that we spend amount of energy that it will be unnecessary. We iron clothes (my mother even my panties and socks) because they are related to elegance.
Muji's wrinkled t-shirt, for example, completely eliminates the need to iron. It is sold tucked into a cube, which implies the intention of the designer already at the point of sale; In addition, cotton and polyester fabric maintain wrinkles with the use.
Here you have the t-shirt, taken from Muni's page, and his page where you can find a lot of things besides clothes.
What do you think about it?
