NUTMEG CLOTHING

I  came across Morrison's children's clothing range and I really liked the attention to detail towards functional design.

I particularly like the promotion of autonomy and do-it-yourself of children putting on clothes themselves through simple, but effective design features...

 

 

 

 

 


It feels like these are qualities not dissimilar to older people. Wouldn't be good if there was a clothing range for older people? - bright colours, larger buttons and zips for people to do themselves, maybe concealed zips, easily washable and non-iron. All done with good design in mind.

It really feels like you are always compromising something with clothing - ease of use, comfort, quality (slipper soles are the worst!) and personal expression.


There are companies that do sell clothing to older people, a few here...

Is this the clothing that older people want, or are just given...??

Not fully sure the objects look useable or sturdy, but if you were an older person who likes Ikea; these could be the designer aids for you...
