INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
Lélie Guiochet – Colette
by Lélie Guiochet
Colette speaks of an intimate object worn directly against the skin, and yet one we abandon without remorse: the bra. It is an object that becomes obsolete, that is not resold second-hand and that is only rarely recycled. It accompanies us only for a few years, before wearing out or becoming too small. So Colette imagines a system that adjusts over time: a bra made of separate parts, cups, underband, straps, fasteners, underwire, to assemble, replace independently, readjust and personalize. The different parts are 3D-knitted, seamless and industrially compostable. The underwire and the fasteners, for their part, are infinitely recyclable. It is no longer the bust that adapts to the object, but the object that evolves with it.
