Co-Creative Communities
Inclusive Codesign for Sustainable Fashion
About Co-creative Communities
Welcome to Co-creative Communities! This is a space for everyone to share ideas and meet people with a range of skills enabling us to co create together! These communities move away from the assigned roles of user, designer, and maker, allowing everyone to be a part of the design journey that leads to the products we really need and want. User voices, especially those that have so far been side lined from the design process, are at the heart of every project, and with the help of designers, researchers, technologists, and makers, we can start to create inclusive fashion that is produced in more sustainable ways.

How it works
-
Anybody can create a profile, whether you design, make or simply wear clothes, either way we see you as an expert in the subject as it relates to you.
-
Search and join communities based on your lifestyle and circumstances. If you cannot find an existing community, you can create one. Naming the community is key, so that other members can find and join you.
-
Within these communities you can begin to talk about what it is you really want or need, share ideas, and begin to design clothes either using our templates or uploading your own
-
Hopefully your community will be made up of members with a mixture of skills, user-designers, designers, and makers, however, if you find you are missing someone to make your project a reality, you can search profiles by skill set and invite them to join.
-
In the Skill Share section, we can also upload or search for videos that may enable others to learn new skills and even begin to make, upcycle or repair our own clothes.
