WORN_RELICS© is a new space where the history and future of clothing can
be collected and archived. A new piece of clothing is an empty diary. As it's worn,
pages are filled. It wears out, gets dirty or damaged, is a physical record of the
passing of time, collecting invisible connotations in the memory of the wearer and
ultimately reflecting their personality. It acquires a history through being worn.
It comes to life through a living moving body. This life can be recorded here ...

Via a coded clothing label you can register an item of clothing, upload a photo and story and follow its journey via a timeline. You can also access other clothing items across a variety of categories like WORN_DRESSES or WORN_ TOPS etc. You can upload new clothing, second-hand ... and, as many items as you like. Then, access your WORN_WARDROBE and view your clothing's visual history. A label transforms your piece of clothing into a unique object, detaching it from its mass-produced origin & acting as a visual reminder of the piece's sentimental value each time it is worn_
