Our group has been focusing on the wicked problem of textile waste produced by the fashion industry and found information which was a shock to us at times when the numbers came up but has been an eye opener as all three of us in the group are IDP fashion students. Its amazing how the three of us work on the lines when doing our individual research and yet always learn more from the others at the group meetings. I am very happy about the way each one of us always has something new together.
The design process for us has really been guided with knowledge from the lecturers and readings. At each step of our journey and infact each lecture addressed just the guidelines we requires at that point in the process.
Starting with mapping the wicked problem based on the neccesity of mapping and visually expressing our ideas and information made the bulk of information easy to assimilate as well as guided us to the next stage of problem solving and new ideas. The next step was the problem statement and design breif which opened a whole new arena of information and we had to narrow down to a specific problem which after discussing amongst ourselves and our professor was a completely new and evolved result. This result was specific and really gave us the potential problem i.e. The textile waste produced by the fashion industry. Then moving on to an extremely powerful topic that of diffusion of innovation really got us to a solution after the helpful feedback we recieved from our classmates and professor along with hours and hours of brainstorming and working together. Even though we are still working on the final solution we can finally see everything coming together and us reaching the point of completing the puzzle.
