Beginning steps:

I wanted to make an app about sustainability because I thought it was a great way to show how we can empathize with our environment directly. In recent years, the talk about sustainability specifically in the fashion industry has been very ongoing so I thought it would be relevant to bring that idea to this project.

Concept Model:

What is T(Rack)?

T(rack) is a mobile app that lets you learn about where your clothing came from.

With our algorithms, we can provide you information about what materials your clothes are made from, how much waste they produced, what factories they were manufactured in, and even who wore them before you.

This app will help you become more aware of the direct impacts your clothing has on the environment and empathize with it to live a more conscious, sustainable lifestyle when it comes to fashion. :)

    Rose, Bud, Thorn:

    Rose-

    created an easy to use app that directly helps users empathize with their environment by educating them on how they are harming it with fashion

    Bud-

    could have delved more into the fast fashion industry in terms of how it affects factory workers since right now T(Rack) only focuses on the environmental impact.

    Thorn-

    How to integrate brand partnerships without being contradictory? The rewards system may seem like a backward step since it is giving them discounts to buy more clothes...
