In World 288 shared community wardrobes can be found in each city and village: one city, one wardrobe. Due to this, every person will receive 20kg of silk yarn as their birthright and they can use it when they reach 16 years of age. This allows a collection of garments handmade exclusively to their personal taste and style, creative imagination, resourcefulness or resource management. The concept of a collective identity is valued to create a community, encourage people to start participating in various art forms together. Artistic fashion, born of multiple mediums and artforms started to thrive, resulting in evolution in both art and fashion.
