WORLD ON FIRE
“There are bales of textile waste waiting to be used. Piecing together up-cycled materials to create something new challenges creativity. By planning ahead zero waste can be achieved. The end result has such value as the garment has extended itself into another life cycle.”
THE FOUNDATION FOR THE CONCEPT
THE PROBLEM:
- Global North dumping excess textile waste in Global South countries
- Increasing amount of “stuff” which is adding to pollution
- Consumerism & the media
THE SOLUTION:
- Justice-led circular economy by incorporating all textile "waste" such as trimmings and scraps into the collection
- Upcycling white button down dress shirts and dyeing them blue (turning blue collar to while collar) with sun prints of feminine lace and undergarments
ZERO - WASTE PHILOSOPHY
SHOE DEVELOPMENT
