My Blue Polo
Michiel van Maaren
## “This collection is a statement about our throwaway clothing culture.”
Our closets are heaving, yet still we keep buying new clothing. As a commentary on this modern obsession, Michiel van Maaren created a collection he describes as ‘fastest fashion’ − garments that can be worn over the clothes we already own. Made of water-soluble fabric, they have a life span of only one day before they dissolve, leaving just a memory in the form of a print on the clothing underneath. ‘My Blue Polo’ is about redefining the clothes we already own and creating a more personal connection with them to minimise our urge to purchase more.
