Student project
What a waste
Background
Discarded wet and thermal suits, lorry tarpaulins, surf kites and airbags have been transformed into a collection of outerwear for women.
What a waste
The security industry discards textiles that do not live up to strict standards. This fashion project explores how the discarded items can gain new value in a new design. The heat-insulating, waterproof and windproof properties can be utilized, but what does it take for discarded materials to be socially accepted in clothing? Can the history of the materials add extra value when the print of the wetsuit is included in the design of the outerwear?
