This project explores how uncovering and communicating the history of vintage garments can create emotional and experiential value. Through an opportunity-driven design process, I investigated ways to trace a garment’s past, from materials and provenance to signs of wear and cultural context, and translate these findings into narratives that accompany the garment itself.

By experimenting with documentation and storytelling, the project examines how making hidden histories visible can influence the way we perceive, value, and connect with vintage clothing.
