Nieuwenhuyse Eco-Fashion Collection Mimics Snakeskin

This collection produces wood cutouts, which when reading i learnt are normally discarded to landfills as they can never be used again being a cutout but in the case of the Nieuwenhuyse Eco-fashion Collection. Fashion designer graduating student Stefanie Nieuwenhuyse was able to create a stunning fashion collection out of the plywood cutouts.

 

 

Nieuwenhuyse began collecting wood cutouts from her school’s workshop, then started gluing the wood cutouts together in fabric or cotton. From applying this technique she was able to create a wonderful collection of dresses and other designs, creating an image similar to snakesking. The Nieuwenhuyse Eco-Fashion Collection was presented at the London Fashion Week and was completed in collaboration with InCrops Enterprise Hub, a bio-waste company.
