GARDECK
What is affecting your
experience of your clothes today?

Six wearing modes
Which mode is your garment in? Is it STABILIZING you during a stressful meeting, or is it helping you stand out, and NAVIGATE the busy streets of London?
STABILISE
Familiarity + bodily ease + routine
MOVE
Activity + mobility + transitions
ADAPT
Weather + changing conditions
NAVIGATE
Social visibility + contextual fit
CARE
Repair + maintenance + effort
SEEK
Novelty + acquisition + replaceability
Your result is a mode, not a label.
GarDeck shows which wearing mode your garment is currently in, in a particular situation. A result might be STABILIZE one day at the office and ADAPT the next day while getting drinks with friends. The GarDeck prompts you to think about the reasons that this may be.
