“Something Old: Something New”
Textiles represent one of the most environmentally polluting global industries. Recent demand for natural fibre has created a ‘cellulose gap’ with one-third of textile fibres needing to be cellulosic by 2030 to maintain an acceptable impact level. As creative practitioners we must adopt alternative materials with more sustainable processes, along with reduced footprint and possibilities for circularity. This application celebrates collaboration with my Finnish creative partner in our on-going promotion of linen, a sustainable fibre, as well as experimentation with emerging regenerated cellulosic materials and natural fibre composites for unique customised prototypes, representing ageless, enduring style.
