This website was created as part of a MA group project called the One Thing Collection, which was inspired by an idea of one garment which is used and enjoyed for a long time. The project is a fashion concept developed by designer and maker Mila Burcikova through the combination of her practice within her slow fashion studio titled MISENSE by Mila B, and her PhD research which focuses on emotionally durable fashion. 

​

The work behind the project, and ultimately what you see throughout this website is that of a cross disciplinary group of creative MA students specialising within various fields such as Fashion Textile Practices, Graphic Design and International Fashion Design Management to create a well-rounded selection of research into the slow and fast fashion industry, with insights into designer, social and environmental issues within this. You can read about these various insights into the world of fast and slow fashion that our research team have put together by exploring the tabs at the top of this home page. 

​

Alongside this, a series of mini books has also been created by our design team, focusing upon the idea which inspired the project; the concept of one garment that is used and enjoyed for a long period of time. The books focus upon eight different women’s wardrobes and the garments that they love and cherish the most due to personal attachments - or even just the love for a particular colour, ease, cut or style. The series of mini books can be viewed electronically via the link on this website, or in person at the One Thing Collection exhibition in June 2018. Details yet to be confirmed.
