MILCH Upcycles Trousers, Shirts into Menswear-Inspired Eco-Fashion

Milch has always liked to borrow clothes from boys. There is one way to always get the menswear-inspired to womens'. The designer named MILCH, is dutch designer who steals, borrow, and pick an idea and design from the lads. They used refashioning secondhand men's garment such as men's trousers and shirts to create, adapt, design into gender-bending womenswear. Foe instant, Milch picked a boy white t-shirt to created a long dress (Tencel men's shirts into dresses, skirts, blouses, and hats with a play-around a new design).

" We pay attention to ecological and socio-cultural aspects in the production chain as a whole," says Cloed Priscilla Baumgartner, MILCH's designer and founder. "The raw material [men's suits and shirts which have been laid aside] comes fromVienna and is processed in responsible factories."

This is an amazing garment!!!! I am very appreciate in avant guard design. In the present, fashion and textiles industries in the 65percent of clothes they throw away go strange to a land fill. Which is a waste way and destroy environment as well. As a designer we can do for save and reused a product for global. We should rethinking again in design or product when we need to remade it again. This company has very great idea for use a second hand or old shit for redesign to use in other gender. That is means they can provide the product cross over use only one gender. Moreover, They uses leftover old cloths to make a new garment that is not only visually appealing but environmentally friendly as well.

2 - Design for Cyclability

This strategy concern about a process of converting waste material or useless products into new product or as same as never was product of better quality or a higher, friendly environment value. To a product through the process of recycling  by itself or human-made ( reuse, repair, recycle, reading,).  By taking some of items that is old or non-use and giving a new design or remade in a better way to creating a new product. From old product. they will cut, change, and edit some part for renew. From all of these scrap fabrics are still functional, beautiful, and useable again. This is a incredibly beneficial to the environment. For example, a old jacket jeans they can remade from jacket to a bag or cut long jacket sleeve to short sleeve as a new design.
