Innovative experiences are emerging on the theme of emotional healing through various cultural productions, more and more using mix media approaches. They question the notions of virtual/physical global communities, mutual aid, self-love/care, resilience, particularly using clothing and accessories representations as intermediaries between the body and the external environment, supporting the narrative.
These recent phenomena, have been little studied until now, particularly in connection with the design sector, whereas they largely affect communities of teenagers, young adults, adults. They do, however, offer particularly interesting/innovative leads to the contemporary/global challenges facing young people today.
This project proposes to study how these cultural (visual, audio-visual, musical..) experiences curated for their innovative approach and social message can be extended through clothing/accessories prototypes in order to amplify their message, impact with their audience and open up a wider audience.
