At the end of last week we got give our new brief called ‘Shirt: Code’. So from the title you can probably guess that I will be making a shirt. But it actually seems really interesting as we have to look into sustainable material, up-cycling, re-using fabrics.
For those who don’t know, fashion production is one of the most polluting industries on the planet. Waste is one of the biggest design flaws, supply chain waste estimated at 800,000 tons a year on landfill sites!
So now the fashion industry is waking up and trying to become more sustainable and ethically aware to cause zero wastage.
So for this project we have been given a label to work with who are trying to make a difference to be more sustainable. I’m going to be working with ‘H&M Conscious- for more sustainable fashion future’.
To start my research I went straight to the main source, H&M. Just looking at their new spring collection, shirts and textiles prints.
