Rediseño de prendas casuales de segunda mano de la Asociación Caritas para mujeres de 25 a 30 años de la ciudad de Quito

Abstract

The project is based on developing a collection of clothing from the reuse of unused garments obtained from the Caritas Association. This project was born after analyzing the problem of pollution generated by unused clothing, therefore this project is focused on reusing the donations of the foundation obtaining a collection suitable for the use of the foundation and its women from 25 to 30 years of age in the city of Quito. Therefore, the qualitative methodology was implemented, which allows to study the user and determine their tastes, needs, preferences and the occasion of use of the garments to be made, through surveys; therefore, the quantitative methodology is used through observation cards where the variety of clothing donated to the Caritas Association for vulnerable groups is examined, and the state in which the clothing in disuse is found can be identified. Therefore, the project generates an impact on society and more in the world of fashion, reducing waste by making use and taking advantage of them to develop new design proposals, demonstrating that we have a variety of resources to generate new designs; likewise, we inquired about the redesign of garments and what would be its benefits or advantages for the Caritas Association. Consequently, we propose the option of production and commercialization to the foundation, obtaining a new source of resources for their vulnerable groups, giving a change to their donated clothing, allowing that it is no longer considered as a garment in disuse or second hand and it is seen more as a redesigned garment which for a certain time will cease to be a waste and will extend its life time.
