Jayot is based in Paris and worked within the Sustainable Finishing Hub of Re-FREAM. She collaborated with the Re-FREAM partners Care Applications and the Aitex facilities on three modular concepts. She also worked with Profactor and Haratech in Linz to develop 3D-printed customizable and reusable clothing fasteners, which were also custom-dyed on-demand using the micro-nebulization process of Care Applications and Aitex facilities.

My artistic practice can be summarized in two words: Research & Design. In order to imagine sustainable alternative processes and scenarios forgarment longevity and user involvement, I want to make a thoughtful use of digital manufacturing technologies. The most significant projects are the 3 steps that brought Fragments Garments to the development stage it has reached today.
The concept of FabLab-inspired circular fashion supply chain and innovative concept-store, previously called FashionTechAway, has been first imagined for the 2017 Zero Waste Challenge, where I won second prize. I then created a first modular collection of 8 seamless laser-cut garments (shirt, dresses, perfecto, jackets, trench and coat), all based on a common set of 10 combinable spare parts patterns. Thanks to the WORTH Partnership Project grant that allowed me to cooperate with the FabLabWeMake in Milano, I improved my design further and created the zero-waste square seamless module. An ensuing collection of 5 jackets and coats has been the proof of concept which has given birth to Fragments Garments.
