Abstract
The present work had the objective to develop a collection of transformable feminine fashion. The starting point was the following problem: is it possible to provide versatility in women’s clothing through modeling? Methodologically, the corpus of this work was constituted by conducting bibliographic and applied research with Treptow’s design methodology (2013). The work presents the creative process, modeling and the photographic essay of two sought after looks. The generation of alternatives brings a collection containing five dresses and five overalls, from this collection two pieces were produced as a result of this work. The collection of women’s fashion is based on a transformation: pieces that, with modeling resources, bulletin together, stand out to be used independently, with a different result from the initial proposal, or even pieces that when used overlap change the aesthetics look. The first piece is a transformable short dress that when joined with a skirt becomes a long dress, and the second piece is a long transformable jumpsuit that, with the removal of the bars, turns into a short jumpsuit. The final considerations point out that the pieces developed brought together the essential aspects of transformable modeling: versatility and adaptability.
