Important results from the project
The aim of the project was to implement a pre-study in order to create conditions for a full project that develops methods for a collaboration model for norm-critical services development in the fashion industry, with a focus on inclusion, services and equality. The result is applications for two full projects of which the first focuses on fashion norms through processes of co-research, and the second questions the `helping´ character of design through a confrontational and design activist approach. The outcome was that service development proved complicated.
Expected long term effects
The project has created a basis for working out two different actor constellations to go ahead with two full projects.
Approach and implementation
Through a survey of the field and subsequent workshops and meetings with key stakeholders a basis for further work has been created with the aim to develop two full projects for which the application for funding will go to Vinnova in June 2015.
