Sustainability is a
complex subject area and covers a broad spectrum of related subjects, this
makes working in a cross disciplinary way, essential and vital.
Key issues that T.E.D
look into include textile
up cycling and new technologies; the role of fashion/textile designers in
creating social/environmental change; the dissemination of sustainable design
ideas through embedding research into teaching curriculums; and digital craft
practices for sustainability.
So how can I make my work more sustainable and
environmentally friendly?
I have always been interested in the idea of
recycling and how I can incorporate this into my work. I have a strong passion
for using things like plastics (e.g. plastic shopping bags) as plastics take a
long time to bio degrade and plastic generally become waste products quite quickly,
as us as a society are genuinely a thrown away society and don’t think of the repercussion
we always seem to leave it to someone else’s. Plastics also interest me due to
the fact they are a quite contemporary idea within fashion, as plastic as a
material is very rarely used within fashion and this would be something I would
love to explore further.
I believe recycling is a very important issue
when it comes to the textile industry we need to find more ways of being
sustainable and to contuse to think of the repercussion when designing. I feel
this could be quite creative and innovative way of working.
