Think Legos but for Fashion
About
Mesh is a sustainable fashion startup based on a wearable modular system founded in March 2019, San Francisco.
Mesh is a versatile, modular piece of fabric that can be configured into any form of clothing your wardrobe needs. It can be built upon itself in multiple directions, only limited by your imagination. Mesh isn’t a one time purchase, it’s a tool to empower your style, a link to a community of creators and a way to always be in style.
Food for thought
How much of your closet do you actually wear? Does being fashionable feel more like a game of catch up than truly expressing yourself? We all have that growing pile of clothing in the back of our closets that simply don’t match what’s trending, what’s relevant, or what our current style is. I want to reframe the buying behaviors in the fashion industry and make people conscious of the value of clothes.
The problem
The fast-fashion industry is about getting clothes from the factory to online stores or retail floors as quickly as possible, the process is often unethical and unsustainable. We are the reason why these fast-fashion businesses exist. They created a system that persuades compulsive shopping and they know how to do it well.
We only have 2 homes our entire lives: the earth and our bodies. So let’s take care of them.
The Design Process
After rounds of exploration of different geometric modular shapes. The eyelet modules are the most self intuitive and easiest to assemble. These modular components loop together to turn ideas into inventions, transforming the way people obtain apparel and accessories pieces.
How it works
I came up with a system of building blocks that will turn your ideas into inventions. Every mesh works with every other mesh - it loops inside one another. I designed the modules this way so that it can be disassembled and grow with the change in fashion trends.
Designing a modular system
I designed a complete library of Mesh units with all the pieces users need to unleash creativity, design thinking, hands-on learning, and engineering experimentation.
