Collaborative conscious clothing
WHAT? A limited collection of six socially-designed garments hand-crafted from khadi cotton, a traditional Indian textile. They have been designed and produced according to the principles of regenerative economy.
HOW? Designer Ashna Patel’s collection offers an alternative method of designing and producing clothing with regenerative resources and through creative democracy. The collection has been created in collaboration with users through analogue and digital workshops.
WHY? There is a need to change destructive habits in relation to design, production and consumption of clothing. Ashna Patel is determined to contribute to this change through design methods such as co-creation and ethical production.
