Rebound Form interprets the concept of resilience through the elasticity, extensibility, and recovery properties of knitted structures. Originally designed as a pair of knitted trousers, the piece revealed an unexpected level of structural versatility during the development process. By simply altering the way it is worn, the garment naturally transforms into a halter dress silhouette, demonstrating the capacity of clothing to adapt, transform, and regenerate.The design challenges conventional garment construction, which typically relies on pattern cutting and tailoring to create form. Instead, it uses the knitted structure itself as a medium for shape generation. By harnessing the elasticity, weight, and drape of rib-knit construction, the fabric naturally expands into fan-like and spiral forms when stretched. Without reconstruction, additional supporting structures, or complex fabrication processes, the garment achieves a three-dimensional silhouette through the inherent behavior of
