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. 

Incredible Upcycled Gown Made From 1,000 Newspaper Cranes.

This origami dress was created by Yuliya Kypro. She turned 1000 paper cranes into a dress. She assembled her headlining bustier dress (complete with a flowing peacock train. This dress piece is not only stunning to audience but also help Eco friendly, she painstakingly folded each and every one of the origami bird from old Metro newspaper.

1 - Design to Minimize Waste

Now a day, Environment has attack by human. Human have created and used maximize waste than before. In this reason, environment has many pollution affect by human activity. Everyone is responsible for damaging the environment. Not only personal but also included natural, environmental, social, and economy (macro-, micro). They are all impact to our responsible. We can do at small area is the amount of waste product by man-made to changed by recycle.

In textile and fashion industry concern about design to minimize waste. As a designer,  it is not only recycle garment but also include zero waste cutting, and introduces an idea to used avoid producing stuff that doesn't work, or don't need. For example, a piece of fabric pattern can re-made to new garment, design product with multifunction use, etc.

“Of the total textile fibre produced, up to 65% is lost, post-consumer, to landfill, incineration or composting, which represents between 400,000 and 700,000 tonnes per annum in the UK. Of this, at least 50% is said to be recyclable” (Allwood, 2006)

Holly Mcquilian - Twinset: Embedded Zero Waste 

 A percent of the fabric is wasted in the manufacturing of a garment is not much. When a pattern of fabric is cut out, the leftover scrap fabrics are usually useless. Holly Mcquilian is one of designer who used zero waste cutting for garment. She created a pattern that fit in another part of garment perfectly.

Twinset: Embedded Zero Waste Project are three pattern which explore the possibility of embedded multiply garment in one pattern. In a piece of pattern, they have a different component of garment such as collar, sleeve, etc. 

This is a good idea that has possibility to success.  That is decrease fabric scarps in each garment. It is an extremly successful techniques as it not only minimize watse but also allow the customer to participate in the design process. For me as a textile designer, they are important part to consider about composition, scale, layout, proportion, and distribution of design to explore on garment pattern. Moreover, I create a garment that present a pattern on part of body. There are very useful to use a scarp of pattern to fill it. Furthermore, in my color project, they have some scarps from a part of my prototype collar as well. So in the second prototype, I tried to organize a collar pattern to fit well on to the fabric for leave less fabric scars as more as I can.

Colour project: References: Flavie Audi

During this project, I planned to used a gloss gel as a medium for interpret transparent colour of my concept. Also I create some textile which represented surface of the sea. I used different material such as powder pigment, beads, and mixed different media for create my own color palette. Also I would like to explore my idea to my sketch book. What is my first sight when I saw those objects? What is it a mood of colours?  And I think, what is happen when i change an original colour to some unique colours? Can the meaning has change in which way?

Flavie Audi is 27 years old Glass craft maker artist. She graduated from AA school of Architecture in 2011. After her graduated she spend a years for working with John Pawson. At the same time, She are focusing in blown glass and silver making. Today, she was graduated in master's degree in glass Royal College of Arts. The key of her work is focus finding a new technique of how to put energy and light into the permanent of work. According to "I am interested in creating experiences of mystery that invites for contemplation, meditation. A vision that is not to be grasped but rather admires it to draw intimate with it." Audi, n.d. 

Flavie Audi's work was influenced me by moment and creative. From her passion in architecture to glass, it is very success of combine two different two keys together. Her work is very amazing. I like her space pattern and surface. They looked similar to Cosmo space and a bird eyes view on surface of the sea. For this reason, I got a lot of inspirations which can create my work in personalize. Which the important keys from this inspired was an organic shape of glass, colours, point of view inside the objects, and angle of light, etc.
