OVERVIEW
· 1 background
It is difficult for people to realize the proportion of fashion in our daily carbon emissions. People's environmental awareness of clothing has become increasingly shallow with the reduction of technology and material costs. Frequent changes of clothing, purchase of large printed clothing, and excessive pursuit of fashion have caused great waste.
How can we make people aware of the waste of resources in the fashion industry?
· 2 our work
We have conceived the "sustainable fashion" of biological clothing that may emerge in 2050, which can promote people to change their current views on fashion by growing the shape of clothes according to the carbon emissions of the host's life.
When the environment gradually moves towards uncontrollable trend, human beings have not developed more available energy as expected. The shortage of energy has affected people's normal life, and human beings have to reduce the production of some non-life necessities. Because of the serious energy consumption and waste in the clothing industry, we must find new changes.
We hope to find the possibility of sustainable development of the clothing industry and open this experimental factory to produce clothes that are more suitable for people in this era of energy shortage.
IDEATION
· 1 SIGNS OF THE FUTURE
Through the analysis of the future triangle, we can predict the direction of change in fashion and clothing production in the future.

Explanation/trend
Problem
Extreme weather makes it impossible to live on the earth any more, the extinction of various organisms increases, serious environmental disasters occur, and environmental problems lead to an increase in diseases
Continued expansion of investment in new material infrastructure, development of environmental protection technology, and redevelopment of plant-based environmental protection cellulose
The shortage of sustainable technology, the increase of population density, the sharp increase in the use of plastics, leading to the increase in the use of disposable goods, etc

TEST FUNCTION
BEGIN THE SHOW
· 3 SEEK PARTNERS
Clothing manufacturers
Will the future clothing manufacturing industry be cut off and forced to develop new resources and technologies, and the future clothing can be customized by extracting the required characteristics from different breeding organisms?
Energy supplier
As a secondary industry, will the clothing manufacturing industry obtain raw material sources from living organisms in the case of extreme shortage of energy in the space capsule, thus triggering the genetically modified breeding of living organisms for clothing raw materials?
