This project takes sustainable development as its core, innovatively combines clothing with backpack functions, and extends the life cycle of clothing through modular design to reduce resource waste. The design focuses on the versatility of the jacket, which can be converted into a backpack at any time. After experiments on the transformation of old clothes and white embryo samples, the support structure and aesthetics are optimized, and problems such as deformation and insufficient coverage are successfully solved. The project uses biodegradable bio-based fabrics, which have antibacterial, breathable, warm and cushioning properties, taking into account both environmental protection and practicality. The results achieve a balance between function and fashion, and are suitable for daily and multi-scenario applications. Through this innovative design, the project aims to guide consumers to choose durable and multi-purpose products, promote responsible consumption patterns, and help the fashion industry move towards environmental protection.
