De retalhos a uma coleção de moda: desenvolvimento de roupas com técnicas de patchwork

Abstract

This project presents a fashion collection entitled “Catedral de Retalhos”, inspired by the history of the Church of Nossa Senhora do Rosário, located in the city of Goiás, with its neo-Gothic architecture. We will also research and analyze the historical origins and evolution of patchwork, from its roots to its use as a tool to minimize the environmental impact of the fashion industry. The study uses patchwork, craft and sustainable techniques, highlighting the advantages and challenges associated with this practice. In addition, we explore cases of brands and designers who have incorporated patchwork into their collections, analyzing them. The “Catedral de Retalhos” collection features a set of five unique pieces, demonstrating the potential of patchwork and church architecture as a tool for artistic and sustainable expression in fashion, and how this technique can give uniqueness and authenticity to pieces, promoting consumers' individuality.
