Description

"No strings attached" offers an easy tool to adapt own clothes and unique pieces from the second-hand to the needs of the individual. A ring element and its counterpart that will be pulled from under the textile through the ring form the plug-in system. It can be used for draping, as closure or simply as accessory. The modification that is done is no ultimate decision; it can be taken over and over again. The set is a means to an end to question fashion consumption behaviour and offers playful alternatives to keep already existing clothing longer in the circuit by varying looks and sizes.
