  • Transition Design and Fashion

    Sanem Odabaşı, Otto Von Busch et al.ARTICLEFashion Practice2023

    As the discipline of fashion design desperately tries to remake itself more sustainable through the introduction of transparency in supply chains, ecological materials, and various modes of recycling and circularity, the question remains if these initiatives have enough impact to make a difference as the markets of fashion keep growing. Across the design field, there have been calls for more fundamental changes to the discipline. One such approac…

  • A Crisis of Power in Fashion

    Otto Von BuschARTICLEFashion Practice2019

    A growing consensus is emerging that the modus operandi of the fashion system is in need of change. Yet for change it requires not only incentives but the agency and power to transform. Designers must ask what kind of power is needed to change, and how such power can be mobilized, cultivated and leveraged

  • Inclusive Fashion—an Oxymoron—or a Possibility for Sustainable Fashion

    Otto Von BuschARTICLEFashion Practice2018

    Cheap and accessible fashion from large retailers has, over the last decades, been thought of as a “democratic” form of consumerism. While embraced by masses of people with substantial environmental costs, many designers and researchers have questioned this mode of fast production and consumption. Designers try to create more sustainable models of consumption, often combined with ideas of other forms of consumer “inclusion” than cheap accessibili…

  • Beyond the in-between

    Otto Von BuschARTICLEInternational Journal of Fashion…2018

    The 2017 exhibition Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons – Art of the In-Between at the Metropolitan Museum in New York exposed the rich work of the iconic Japanese fashion designer Rei Kawakubo to a larger western audience. As the title of the exhibition indicates, Kawakubo’s work does not fit well within some of the classic conceptual assumptions around fashion, but can be placed as something ‘in-between’. The show and printed museum guide were arran…

  • Fashion suX

    Otto Von BuschARTICLEUtopian Studies2017

    Fashion suX is an artistic research project of imaginative utopia creation in the tradition of Thomas More. But instead of an imaginary society on an island, the project explores how a radically different fashion culture could emerge in the footsteps of hardcore and Straight Edge metal. The project specifically examines the underground fashion and craft movement that called themselves suXers (sometimes referred to as “sustainable fashion Straight…

  • Zen and the Abstract Machine of Knitting

    Otto Von BuschARTICLETEXTILE2013

    When approaching the crafts, especially knitting, the craft's long history and refined traditional techniques can easily give the impression that everything has already been invented, or at least that innovation is limited and specific to certain forms, either in patterns or technology. However, a craft like knitting should not be too dissimilar to chess, where young masters will beat their predecessors because they find new, clever paths through…

  • Molecular management

    Otto Von BuschARTICLECreative Industries Journal2012

    Early industrialism was influenced by the organization of cottage industries, and in a similar vein, many of today's creative industries emerge largely from networked small-scale initiatives or cultural scenes. Collaborations and interactions are the backbone of the contemporary Do-It-Yourself (DIY) or ‘maker culture’, a distributed milieu of open software programmers and hardware hackers, but also crafters, backyard tinkerers, hobbyists and home…

  • Generation Open

    Otto Von BuschARTICLEThe Design Journal2012References: 2

    Open design has emerged as a topic generated by a new logic of thinking: the internet with its rhizomatic creative networks and open software. Over the last decades the network has become a new conceptual technology by which to think and describe the world in a new way, and collaborative networks have also become the main actors in the new economy, generating questions of what 'open' actually means. As a new generation of knowledge and design wor…

  • Engaged Design and the Practice of Fashion Hacking

    Otto Von BuschARTICLEFashion Practice2009Cited by: 4References: 2

    This article draws attention to how hacking, as a mode of practice, can be applied to fashion design processes. Hacking, originating from the world of software programming, features characteristics that could be of essential value when departing on participatory, engaged or sustainable fashion endeavors beyond the modes of production we see common in the industry today. Being networked and collaborative, hacking is a constructive practice rather …
