New Ways of Ageless Fashion: Project Development in Class Context

Ageless Fashion is the name that best characterizes the research presented in this scientific article. Accepting aging and knowing how to deal with the various changes that the body undergoes is one of the great challenges that human beings, men or women, face with advancing age. Feeling good about your body and the way you dress is one of the major concerns of older people and it is also one of the issues that arise as a starting point for the project that was developed – Ageless Fashion. The main objectives are related to the understanding of the body and its natural changes for the best adaptation of the technical modeling of clothing and for the definition of an image where aesthetics and comfort are not forgotten. Thus, the challenge was launched to a group of Fashion Design students who, for a week, intensively sought to find solutions and proposals for clothing suitable for seniors, where comfort and aesthetics were the focus of study.
