zero waste design, UP-CYCLING & print
UNIVERSITY FINAL COLLECTION
*6 OUTFITS- 3 TOILED/3 REALISED
WASTELESS envisions a future where fabric waste is non-existent, and discarded garments are seen as resources. We reshape unwanted fabric into new, conceptual pieces that challenge fashion norms through recognizable forms. Our upcycled garments, sewn with expressive stitching, can be styled in multiple ways, extending their lifespan.

ZERO WASTE PATTERNS MADE WITH LUXURY DEAD STOCK
*1 REALISED OUTFIT- REVIVED HISTORICAL SHIRT PATTERN & COUTURE RUG-JEAN
PROVENANCE refers to the origin of somethings existence. Working with deadstock gives the bonus of the material having a story to tell, a personality, and a reason it got to be in your posession.
Working closely with my deadstock fabric supplier to honor the fabrics history and embew the fabric with new life-basing the designs on the surrounding architecture and flora.

EXPLORING AI IN FASHION DESIGN
2 REALISED OUTFITS- UP-CYCLED FROM PREVIOUSLY LOVED GARMENTS
I was captivated by an article by @popularmechanics stating that ‘The Singularity’ may reach us within 7 years. The singularity is a term used for the point where AI surpasses human intelligence and is beyond our control. This got me thinking about our relationship with AI as a tool for creativity. With the stigma around using AI to generate artwork, I wanted to explore if it could be used as a source of inspiration and abstraction rather than a shortcut to the end product.

r2w FOR A ZERO-WASTE FUTURE
ZERO-WASTE COLLECTION INSPIRED BY FUTURE MANUFACTURING LIMITATIONS
*4 OUTFITS, 1 REALISED GARMENT
This was my first project exploring zero waste design methodologies. The brief imagined a future where production waste was taxable, meaning huge conglomerates exploring options that were waste-free.
Designing from drawing to technical flats, utilising Adobe Illustrator patterns, icons and layers to create accurate range plans. My designs were developed backwards- from patterns emerged the illustrations of an assembled garment.
