Folds, pleats and tucks in this suit by graduate designer Carolina Reis exaggerate the movements of its wearer.

"Since movement is as individual as our fingerprints, a design that takes into account motion becomes singular to each person," says Reis.

The information below is from Carolina Reis:
Carolina Reis, designer and researcher, has developed Wear Out. It is the outcome of her master degree at the Design Academy Eindhoven. Her work was exhibited during the Dutch Design Week from the 23rd until the 31st of October at both the Design Academy Graduation Show and at the Appropriate Material exhibition.
WEAR OUT - body movement shaping the garment
What if the wearer could become whoever he is without having to choose a certain representation in his outfit? Is it possible to approach fashion design without imposing a certain model to follow?
This project is the outcome of this premise. The mechanism applied on the fabric breaks when there is pressure and adjusts to the wearer. By using movement as a catalyzer of change in the object, the garment takes its final shape once each person has used it.
