時尚一詞泛指在特定時間和特定環境下的一種流行的美學表達，更迭越發快速，所迭代的資源就更加可觀。本次專案從曾經風靡過的布袋戲「舊時尚」出發，並非單純復刻與復興一種美好的過往，試圖搭起過去與當代的橋樑，思考文化「再」認同與皮革定位，在形式氾濫的快時尚找到抗體，以一種文化環保的形式存在。 扮相希望藉由布袋戲的邏輯，基於劇本需求所生的頭、服裝、頭盔，建立在相同基礎，經過置換後，身分得以轉變，化身成不同需求與角色。我們試著思考以角色扮演為出發，鞋子是否能有類似的趣味，藉由置換物件，變成一雙不同的鞋子，體驗一種身分，讓轉換的趣味性也成為穿著的一種體驗，賦予一種新的觀看角度。 The term “fashion” generally refers to a popular aesthetic expression tied to a specific time and context. As trends evolve ever more rapidly, the resources consumed in this cycle have become increasingly significant. This project takes inspiration from the once-popular traditional puppet theater as a form of “old fashion”—not merely to recreate or revive a nostalgic past, but to build a bridge between history and the present. It explores cultural re-identification and the role of leather in resisting the excesses of fast fashion, aiming to exist as a form of cultural sustainability. Drawing from the logic of traditional puppet theater, where a character’s head, costume, and helmet are constructed on a common foundation and swapped out based on the script’s needs, we imagine a similar approach for footwear. Could shoes, too, embody the playful essence of role-playing? By exchanging parts, a shoe could transform into something entirely different, allowing the wearer to “become” another persona. This act of transformation becomes part of the experience, offering a new lens through which to view the act of wearing.
