Sustainable textile with my colour project

While I made my textile collection for this project. I just though only how I can explore my inspired to real work. After I studied sustainable textile. I was interested about these theories of the ted's ten research. I wish to create a collection that can related to sustainable textile as much as. I need to created my fabric used techniques that made less pollution to environment as soon as possible.This is developing ideas within the mantle of textile environment design. Specifically of interest to me with my project are No.1 (Design to minimize waste), No.2 (Design for Cyclability), No.4 (design to Reduce Energy and Water use), No. 5 (Design that Explores Clean/Better Technologies), and No.6 (Design That Takes models from Natural/ History). Each of these philosophies interacts with my concept naturally and better technologies.

I managed to created my collar inspired by my recent trip to the sea at Phuket island, and It was all PVC and polyester material for use less energy to cleaned the fabric. The idea to created this collar from sustainable strategy that I am used worked on. And I made a shape the collar instead of cutting out the pattern from scarp of paper for prototype and in the final product I choose to made from scrap fabrics from cutting out the pattern from large piece one of my sample which created too much wastage. Moreover, I have the flat pattern so can translate that relatively easily into a shape organic fabric pattern from scrap fabric and I can use PVC and natural fabric which I dyed with natural dyes.

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.
