作品名稱： RE-PANTSFORM 型變牛仔 設計說明： 《RE-PANTSFORM 型變牛仔》是一件融合永續思維與極簡機能的創新設計作品，透過「一褲多用」的可變結構，重新定義服飾與配件的界線。本作品主要以回收牛仔褲與天然植鞣牛皮為基礎材質，透過模組化設計，使用者可以自由轉換為長褲、七分褲或一款旅行袋包，滿足日常穿搭、短程旅遊與收納功能等多種生活情境。 在結構設計上，褲管以隱藏式拉鍊與皮革拼接結構連接，可拆卸後重新組裝為袋包，褲襠部位亦設計為實用的收納口袋，展現結構與功能的極簡整合。此設計不僅提升單品的使用壽命與實用彈性，更強調減法設計與物件價值最大化，真正實現「少即是多」的慢時尚理念。 《RE-PANTSFORM》的創作核心在於「循環再生」。作品回收舊牛仔褲，使原本將被廢棄的布料重新進入設計生命週期，並搭配天然植鞣皮革——一種不含重金屬、能隨使用自然老化的皮革素材，讓使用者在時間中見證材質的變化與成長。這種設計態度，不僅尊重資源與工藝，也讓產品與人建立情感連結。 在美學層面上，《RE-PANTSFORM》採取極簡設計語言，捨棄繁複的裝飾與無謂的細節，以乾淨的線條與材質本身的肌理作為視覺焦點。袋包與服裝之間的轉換不僅流暢，亦具備高度辨識度，符合現代年輕世代對於實用、美感與環保三者兼具的設計追求。 此作品不僅是一項設計實驗，更是一項對未來時尚的行動回應。它鼓勵人們重新思考：「我們是否真的需要那麼多件衣服？還是，只需要更有設計思維的一件？」透過 RE-PANTSFORM，我們希望讓設計回歸本質，讓服飾不只是穿在身上的商品，更是一種生活價值與環境承諾的體現。 Project Name: RE-PANTSFORM — Transforming Denim Design Description: RE-PANTSFORM is an innovative design piece that merges sustainability with minimalist functionality, redefining the boundaries between fashion and accessories. This project is primarily made from recycled denim and natural vegetable-tanned leather, utilizing a modular design that allows the user to freely transform the piece into full-length pants, cropped pants, or a travel bag, catering to various everyday, short-term travel, and storage needs. In terms of structural design, the pant legs are connected with hidden zippers and leather seams, allowing for easy detachment and reassembly into a bag. The crotch area is also designed with a functional pocket for additional storage, showcasing the seamless integration of structure and function. This design not only extends the lifespan and versatility of the piece but also emphasizes minimalism and maximization of the object's value, fully embodying the "less is more" philosophy of slow fashion. The core of RE-PANTSFORM's creation lies in the concept of "circular regeneration." The project recycles old denim, giving fabric that would otherwise be discarded a second life in the design process. The use of natural vegetable-tanned leather — a material free of heavy metals and naturally aging over time — allows users to witness the material's transformation and growth. This design approach not only respects resources and craftsmanship but also fosters an emotional connection between the product and the user. Aesthetically, RE-PANTSFORM adopts a minimalist design language, eliminating unnecessary embellishments and details. Clean lines and the inherent texture of the materials serve as the visual focal points. The transition between bag and clothing is not only fluid but also highly recognizable, meeting the modern generation's pursuit of designs that combine practicality, aesthetics, and environmental consciousness. This piece is not just a design experiment, but a proactive response to the future of fashion. It encourages people to rethink, "Do we really need so many clothes, or do we just need one thoughtfully designed item?" Through RE-PANTSFORM, we hope to bring design back to its essence, transforming clothing from just a product worn on the body to a representation of lifestyle values and environmental commitment.
