Tear to Wear

Matti Paffen focuses on the topic of identity and how people show this through the objects close to them. He aims to inspire people to build relationships and a sense of care for the things that are important to them and simultaneously strives to make long-lasting products that people can build on in this fast-paced society.

The collection ‘Tear to Wear’ includes 3 outfits that require the wearer to rip them open before they can be worn. The initial struggle to open the fabric initiates a personal connection, as the imperfections created by ripping become an integral part of the garment’s character.
