Re:Work

My latest college project, entitled Re:Work, is about changing the face of sustainable fashion. There is a certain stigma attached to the concept, seen by the consumer as 'hippy clothes' and by the fashion industry as a hindrance. I want to show that good design does not have to be compromised for garments to be sustainably aware. So I have decided to create my own printed fabric, which I will then use to construct a garment, followed of course by a photoshoot. It's all a bit experimental, based around abstract florals, and these are the designs I am printing onto silk, using natural dyes, originally drawings which I edited on photoshop to make them suitable for screen printing...
