Design Goal: Transforming the boundary of differences in women's clothing and style preferences into a place of common understanding values between Iranian and Dutch cultures. Result: The outcome of quilting could be any piece of clothing; but we chose a "robe", as an icon of comfort at home, that every woman would use no matter what culture she comes from. Every piece of fabric comes with a story, a metaphor for different experiences and values. The "Quilture Robe" is a symbol of shared culture and stories which unites and empowers women.

Editor's Notes
- Design goal is to transform boundary of differences in clothing into a common understanding of values. For iranian and dutch culture
- Target users are non religious dutch and religious iranian women living in multicultural neighborhoods
- We found it important because of growing diversity in netherlands Cultural context is important when talking about fashion It is linked to social acceptance And can help overcome stigmas between cultural groups
- We did quite bit of interviews from both sides to validate our assumptions
- General perception of the two cultures from each other looks pretty accurate However, deeper values are not easily grasped from outer layers like symbols This shows that gap between socio-cultural dimensions
- Dutch and Iranian fashion seems so different But women of both cultures have something in common: Expressing their values through appearance
- We designed 'Quilture' Quilture is a service which encourages woman from different cultures to sew quilted pieces of fabric together and get to know each other.
- Quilture consists of a folder with sewing patterns for a quilt. The folder can be deposited in community centers of neighborhoods to encourage neighbors from different cultures to meet Everyone brings their own piece of fabric that is meaningful to them and together they turn it in wonderful outfits!
