I really enjoyed the in (virtual) conversation event with Phoebe English and Charles Jeffrey last night. This talk was part of a 3 day event for the V&A Dundee's Re-Thinking Fashion series.
It was great to hear about the zero-waste techniques and the utilising of handcrafted skills in their respective garments. Phoebe discussed how she asks her manufacturers for her waste materials back so she can reuse them; and i really liked the hand-made project that Charles set his interns during lockdown - its resulted in some unique and original pieces.
Its important to consider the alternative ways we can create garments that still have a creative edge but don't harm or pollute the environment at all or as much as mass-produced garments.
