..An Introduction To: MODBOX MODULARS
“Simplicity is not
simplistic. It is the ultimate science & art, reflecting the law of nature.
Simplicity is the lack of excess, of impertinence, of the immaterial. It is
doing away with all that is irrelevant. It reflects the rare essence of Truth
and Pure Honesty. No adding or
taking away is necessary. Function
not Frill. Simplicity is neither bland or dull, it is the very definition of
beauty, the key to comfort and contentment. These are the things I think of when I think of Sandra
Garratt’s Modular designs.” Quote Artist Issachar Ben Yaakov 1986
The Need: “ Modern American Women have limited
time and resources, often balancing career and family. They need an affordable,
multifunctional wardrobe that
helps make them look good, no matter what their size or shape” Sandra Garratt
The Specs: “Women don’t want to start over every
season because of fashion dictates, weather, or because they have gained or
lost a few pounds. They have more
important ways to spend their money then at the dry cleaners, or their time at
an ironing board. They deserve a
wardrobe that doesn’t add more problems to their lives.” Sandra Garratt
The Concept: MODBOX eliminates the need to maintain three separate
wardrobes for work, play, and evening.
The pieces can be mixed & matched, layered, tucked, rolled and accessorized
into virtually endless combinations and proportions…..from conservative to as
wild as the wearer wishes to be. MODBOX is like a clean sheet of paper to fill
in any way you desire.” Sandra Garratt
The Solution: "That’s why I originally designed my Modular wardrobe system back in 1975, and that concept has manifested as UNITS then MULTIPLES and now MODBOX. MODBOX is a unified line of modular pieces in a "one-size-fits-most" format. While they are big
square oversized garments, once on the human body they are soft and supple, fluid and
graceful.” Sandra Garratt
Modern Fit:
MODBOX clothing is
constructed using a simple squared shape with a "one-size-fits-most" format. Both full and narrow silhouettes are
offered within the line to compliment the widest range of heights and sizes. Cut generously in both width and
length, the garments can be worn loose or draped for a graceful fluid look even
when layered. The fabric is a 100% Certified Organic Cotton Interlock knit that is light, breathable and easy care/wash & dry. It is soft and
comfortable. Even storage is simple, all you need do is fold or roll compactly in a
drawer or on a shelf. The same flexibility, easy care & compactness features
also make MODBOX ideal for travel.
Modern Flexibility: MODBOX is a modular clothing system that includes
tops, pants, skirts, dresses, and jumpsuits. The simple bodies shift in line and proportion utilizing
additional layers and multi-use Knit Tubes, Leggings & accessories. The clean-seam finish also allows them to be truly
reversible. All modular styles are available year
round in basic color palette #1 Black, White and Red, as well as a range of seasonal colors.
Work/Play/Evening Styling: MODBOX can be worn for
work, play and "after-five". The
clean simple lines allow for maximum styling options from formal to casual,
conservative to trendy.
Thermal Layering: A single layer of MODBOX is perfect for Summer. Gradual layering for cooler temperatures
provides ideal individual comfort.
This concept offers unlimited versatility on a limited budget.
