estioned my dream of working in a sector that lives on feeding unnecessary and superficial needs and polluting the world.

Recycling textiles as a process to convert waste into new materials has always existed, as indicated by archaeological evidence found around the world. Clothing in most parts of human history was not the disposable commodity as it is in today's modern globalized society.
At no other time in human history, has fashion been so available and attainable to so many people across society

The traditional recycling practise of “destroying” is inevitable in order to create something new.
The following research are studies fostering new zero-waste recycling and garment re-construction methods without the use of a scissor.
The methods applied investigate usage and how to create new form, while allowing a reconstructed garment to be reversed back to its original state.

Description
Study and analyze the garment’s original garment construction, print and fabric type -Tear apart the seams of 2hand garments - Reconstruct a garment into a new form and function - Choose a constant in the original construction to create guideline and familiarity - Use the details as starting points - Drape around the mannequin or self - Combine different fabric and garments to create clothing hybrids.

This sustainable design method proposes a way to address fast fashion overproduction, by taking what has already been produced and changing the wearability of the chosen material as starting points for the process, thus fostering new more intelligent and ethical ways of using textile waste.
Within the collection of 8 outfits, there exist 26 transformable garments.
The Assembled Garments project aims to be part of a long-term solution by being a 2-1 or 3-1 solution that has multiple garments embedded in the construction, thus designed to be disassembled into new renewal cycles and to fulfil consumers' ever-changing needs.
The potential of applying the method and potential business model to industrial garment production exists, as tons of fast fashion garments are produced daily.

Reconstruction and preserving existing garments has some of the best potential in the field and the narrative of production and manufacturing process, illustrated in instructional technical sketches and imagery provides valuable information about the potential of the individual piece.

My work has been selected to be shown at Textile Exposé 2030 as part of problem solving solutions for a more circular and sustainable future textile industry.
