I love shopping – thinking about consumer behaviour in the future

Cross culture cooperation beetween students from the Hong Kong Baptist University, Academy of Visual Arts (Prof. Mariko Takagi) and Trier University of applied sciences, Intermedia Design (Prof. Tom Hirt)

Living in a modern mega city as Hong Kong, we are surrounded by malls, international brands and endless shopping opportunities seven days a week. Apart from retail shops, online portals and mobile apps give us the chance to consume over the internet and be a part of the production and design process of the products.
Nowadays fashion is affordable and since H&M it seems that there is no excuse for being out of fashion. As Coco Chanel says “Fashion is made to become unfashionable”, if we want to be a fashion victim, we have to change our style with the seasons. But what will be the effect of that kind of consumption? Is sustainable life and being a trend setter mutually exclusive by its nature? In this class we will analyse existing models of sustainable fashion/ consumption and create new visions. This is a project which does not only show an international cooperation but a statement of an up-to-date and important topic.
