Zero Waste Fashion
Here at Posh Swaps we have been harping on for some time about the importance of reducing waste and being stylish at the same time. Now the designers are also starting to catch on too. Traditionally the fashion industry creates quite a lot of waste in the form of offcuts from cutting out the patterns. Designs like Mark Liu and Caroline Priebe are coming up with innovative and creative ways to reduce waste and make use of these offcuts.
Mark uses a a method of cutting a jigsaw pattern from a single piece of fabric in order to create all of the components to be assembled in his design and engineered screen printing to predraw the patterns onto fabrics. His designs are intricate, interesting and very beautiful, proving yet again that eco fashion can be as good design wise and in many cases better than conventional designer clothes. There are so many different types of eco fabric to choose from but when it comes to being really environmentally friendly you can’t really beat the 3 r’s reduce, reuse, recycle.
