I also researched fashion designers who have used 'waste' to create new clothing.
Junk to Funk
Fashion Shows
Junk to Funk is a project by a collection of artists that makes clothing out of items we see as 'waste'. The call there clothing 'Trashion' as it mixes fashion with trash. They're fashion shows make you think differently about waste and they address soiciety's mass consumption habits which makes you think about items you dispose of. By making the clothes visually striking raises awareness about the impact of consumption. The collection is very inspiring as it shows you what solutions could be done for a more sustainable fashion choice. When talking about waste they said:
Imagine a world in which there was no such thing as trash; that everything that we “threw away” was perceived as a valuable resource, used to create something new or as a nutrient for the earth. What if long-lasting and repairable purchases ruled over cheap prices, durable was more convenient than disposables, and we valued doing stuff instead of buying stuff? Consider that low-impact doesn’t mean sacrifice, but is a means to reclaim our time, money and pursuit of happiness. What if the ultimate measure of coolness was how little you bought, how much you shared and how much you creatively reused?
The Sustainable Fashion Show
On the opening day of London fashion week, there was the first every Sustainable fashion show. The fashion consisted of fashion designers such as Vivienne Westwood and Stella McCartney showcasing work that used recycled materials and materials that was ethically fashion. Boris Johnson, Mayor of London, was there at the fashion show he had to say this about it, 'This fashion show proves that eco-fashion and sustainable-chic, which are often associated only with macrobiotic yogurt, hemp skirts and raffia work, can be funny, elegant and commercial'
