I respectfully acknowledge the Wurundjeri people as the traditional custodians of the unceded lands, waters and skies where my studio is situated, and pay respects to their elders past and present and emerging and the stolen generations.
Doctor of Philosophy Examination: Oral Presentation, Exhibition and Thesis
After examination for the Doctor of Philosophy, Fashion and Textiles, in December 2025 my degree was conferred.
Doctoral Citation:
Dr Kuzmycz explored design for maximum wearing, focusing on dresses, an underutilised garment. The research produced a model of open fashion design that incorporates wearing feedback to inform garment designs. It demonstrates that wearing feedback can be transformative for sustainable fashion practice, garment design, and enhances understanding of wearing behaviours.
