The Future of Fashion from the GreenShows

Found this video on youtube and wanted to share specially to the girls that LOVE shopping :)

Consumers, specially women, are the most powerful people... If you start to pay attention to what you buy, you will start loving your pieces in such way that you will take good care of is and use it more than once. I personally wash most of my clothes by hand.. :P

Be aware of what type of materials your are using\buying... I'm sure you will feel proud to be 'closer' to nature ;) It might cost more. But will last longer.

If you want people to actually look at your outfit, then be different...stop copying and 'close your eyes' to publicity. Put some love into what you choose to dress...for sure all your love, energy and joy will be reflected and most important, contagious :) xxxx

Remember: if you are actually promoting sustainable fashion, for sure your giving someone a meal, somewhere in the world x

you don't make a difference just for yourself...you're part of the world ;)

• While preparing for a final presentation I couldn't stop myself from designing what was on my mind after reading so much about sustainable design ;) hope the world sees it xx •

More taiwan, more textiles ;)

Oie x

Sorry for not posting for a while, was traveling around the south of Taiwan and it was simply amazing!!

Spent a couple of days in Kenting and another couple of days in Jurassic Park Green Island (just kidding, it's just Green Island).

It was very relaxing, cruising around the island and just appreciating the nature ;)

Here is a couple of shots that I took xxx

Once I arrived back to Taipei, had to quickly start doing all the projects that I need to hand in within this week.

This is what I did yesterday for the Weaving report that I gotta hand in tomorrow:

 

The pattern I designed is symmetrical, however this is only the ‘starting’ point of the pattern that I developed. From this simple shape (irregular circle), I was able to alternate the repetition to get different results.

As seen in the fabric, I took the liberty of extending some specific points (the end points) in order to make the piece more interesting. Funny thing was that I experimented everything at the very moment :P

Since this is a double weave design, I also wanted to experiment the effect of weaving ‘the opposite’ in order to get the opposite color and design effect.

The fabric is design based simply on two colors, apple green and violet red, specifically to make a contrast and to keep it simple.

Tomorrow will try to post about a seminar that I attended today. Really interesting!! Was about 'Miao People' from South-West China and their traditional clothing... 

Thanks everyone ;) x
Tchau x
