Design Boom explains: "Built To Wear" is a new installation by Ball-Nogues studio for the 2009 Shenzhen Hong Kong Biennale. The project is a collaboration between the studio and ethical clothing company, American Apparel with curator Beatrice Galilee. Using the help of organizers and group of 30 volunteers from Shenzhen, the result is a hanging architecturally scaled structure comprised from 10,000 items of clothing: baby dresses, bikinis, g-strings, muscle shirts, spaghetti tank tops and t-shirts manufactured by American Apparel, the largest garment factory operator in the united states.
