This Master’s thesis project, Walking Gardens, explores the integration of living plants into fashion design as a way to merge sustainability, innovation, and emotional reconnection with nature. Developed within the Master’s in Design for Sustainable Fashion Technology at IED Barcelona, the work draws on biomimicry, indigenous knowledge, and circular design principles to create garments that function as living ecosystems. The collection embeds plants such as chia, chamomile, and alfalfa directly into crocheted and knitted fabrics, allowing roots to grow in contact with the wearer’s skin. This not only creates a natural cooling system—helping the body adapt to increasing heat due to climate change—but also fosters a symbiotic relationship in which the wearer cares for the plants and the plants, in turn, benefit the wearer. Beyond its technical and aesthetic achievements, Walking Gardens challenges traditional fashion paradigms by proposing garments with finite lifecycles that can be composted or replanted after use. Rooted in craftsmanship, local materials, and cultural heritage, the project positions fashion as a medium for environmental stewardship, encouraging consumers to view clothing not as disposable commodities but as living companions that embody respect for the natural world
