MA Design and Applied Arts

I want to have positive impact on the environment by re-purposing materials to make new and innovative garments for men. I specialise in up-cycling materials such as denim which will ensure sustainability.

 

I believe governments, consumers and the fashion industry must work together to reduce or eliminate waste clothing going into landfill and the damage done to the environment by the pollution of the sea and rivers caused by denim production.

 

Over the past couple of years, I have been working with waste fabric and discarded denim and have been creating menswear using screen print, stitch, repair and working with small and large pieces of fabric to not waste anything.
