MDP - Identification of a genuine need
Problems and issues
School uniform
jackets
does not effectively provide warmth
solution
lots of options eg. school jacket, zipped fleece, quarter zip fleece, blazer, (rain jacket)
A multilayered jacket which provides warmth and less fabric waste to create multiple jacket options. A jacket which will have attachable and detachable parts to provide for the specific needs
skirts
unable to move around due to restrictions of the skirt
solution
skort design
skirt/skort -> shorts -> pants
pants and skirt options that are transformed
tops
white tops are see through occasionally due to fabric
solution
finding fabrics which are not transparent
need a transition from junior to senior
solution
combined dying of the white fabric to blue with natural dyes
buttons don't provide coverage to student
solution
zip up top
The pattern of the school uniform is boxy
cinchable waist
The overall issue is that the uniforms do not provide any individual creativity or self representation
solution
Aesthetically transformable uniforms which will provide a creative outlet for students to explore different ways of styling clothing (aesthetic), while keeping practical and staying within school uniform policy and guidelines (functional)
How my MDP will make a positive difference
Students to feel more involved in their presentation and representation for their school through uniforms
Students will be able to creatively wear their uniforms without needing to breach school uniform policies
Provides warmth, insulation, waterproof technology all in one jacket
minimalises fabric waste in the production of multiple school jackets
A more affordable options for parents who need to buy one jacket instead of 5 different ones
Students (especially females) feel more comfortable in their school wear
Target Market
direct users
NSW High School Students
Market
NSW Government
School Principals
School Uniform shops
How it is innovative
The new uniform provides students with multiple jacket options
It uses functional transformative techniques but with minimal user involvement which have not been in the school uniform market
the design is inspired from ski jacket layering system with attachable and detachable components
Traditional uniforms around the world do not provide any sort of transformative and creative element in their uniforms
