design brief

fashion itself is an endless cycle that produces tremendous amount of waste from garments that are out of season. Garments that are made out of synthetics materials are non-biodegradable. Furthermore, the growing process of non organic cotton contain the use of pesticides, which can cause soil contamination and air pollution. In addition to environmental effects, pesticides can also cause detrimental health issues as affecting our nervous system. Fashion cannot just be about how we look but rather the entire production process that goes around the industry. From growing cotton to the finished products and to the hand of the customer, that include the farmers, the makers, and the consumers . Out of the all, the most important is the treatments of the fabric and the manufacture of fibers. Dyeing, the method that most likely to achieved color on fabric, uses chemical that contains arsenic, which put not only the makers and wearers in health risk, but also contaminates ground water.

It is possible to wear fashionable outfits without contaminate our environment. The first step would be to change the materials that we use for making garments. Unlike other materials, the growing process of organic cotton would not contain pesticides, thus won’t have negative effects on the farmers and the earth. We can also use recycled plastic bottles to make outfits such as fleeces. Accessories such as belt or bracelet could be made out of recycled tyres. In the method of recycle and reuse, we can solve the issue of landfill and make garments that are out of seasons useful for the next coming seasons.
