This project explores transformable garment design through the study of nomadic garment structures and contemporary pattern cutting. By examining adaptability, wrapping, and modular construction in nomadic garments, the project tests how garments can shift between multiple forms and functions. Through iterative draping, material experimentation, and technical sampling, the work investigates how transformable design can support flexible wearing scenarios and encourage longer garment use. Rather than focusing on fixed occasions, the garments are designed to be reconfigured by the wearer, offering practical versatility within everyday contexts.
