This study is a critical inquiry on fashion consumption in digital and its role in sustainable transition from a decolonial perspective, centering consumers agency and tacit, subjective experiences. It aims to promote consumer emancipation, posing alternative paths to the degrowth of industrial fashion.Current discourses on fashion consumption propose technologies for online shopping can lead to a better understanding of consumption patterns, resulting in greater consumer awareness and sustainable practices. However, these focus on addressing technical challenges around reproducing existing consumer experiences. This exposes how e-commerce is less of a disruptor element of fashion consumption, providing the technological apparatuses for the unsustainable growth of fashion consumption as it is.This research takes a relational approach instead, referring to a focus on embodied experiences and its material contexts, investigating how eliciting consumer's senses contributes to radically rethinking the technologies that currently support and promote contemporary cultures of consumption. From a decolonial standpoint, it critically examines how tools and systems of online fashion consumption are imagined, designed and used, asking the following research question: How can tactile experiences be explored in these contexts to subvert how consumption currently operates?This is achieved by a programmatic approach to design, composed of semi-structured interviews, participatory research and workshops where consumers are seen as active agents in the transformation and making of their own worlds. The final results and contributions are meta-design scenarios, that is, evolvable systems that map the socio-technical conditions for the co-creation of online consumption systems. Another contribution will be novel methods on fashion and textile thinking for engaging the senses and the sensitive for transition design and technological development. The project contributes to the fields of design research on ecological transition, fashion studies in online consumption, material culture in relation to HCI, and beyond, potentially informing sustainability strategies and tools.

这项研究是关于数字化时尚消费及其在可持续过渡中的作用的关键询问，从非统一的角度，以消费者代理和默认，主观的体验为中心。它旨在促进消费者的解放，为工业时尚的趋势提出替代途径。时尚消费的流行论述提出了用于在线购物的技术，可以更好地了解消费模式，从而提高消费者的意识和可持续的实践。但是，这些专注于解决现有消费者体验的技术挑战。这揭示了电子商务如何不再是时尚消费的破坏者要素，从而为时尚消费不可持续的时装消费提供了一种关系，这项研究采用了一种关系方法，指的是专注于体现的体验及其物质环境，研究引起消费者的感官如何有助于从根本上重新思考目前支持和促进当代消费文化的技术。从非殖民的角度来看，它严格研究了如何想象，设计和使用在线时尚消费的工具和系统，询问以下研究问题：如何在这些情况下探索触觉体验以颠覆当前的消费方式？编程方法的设计方法，由半结构化访谈，参与式研究和研讨会组成，在这些访谈中，消费者被视为在自己的世界转型和创造中的活跃代理。最终结果和贡献是元设计的情况，即可演化的系统，这些系统绘制了在线消费系统共同创建的社会技术条件。另一个贡献将是有关时尚和纺织思维的新方法，以吸引感官以及对过渡设计和技术发展的敏感。该项目为生态过渡，在线消费中的时装研究，与HCI及其他地区有关的物质文化的设计研究贡献了潜在的信息。
