For my approach, I will source and maximize the usage of my fabrics. Therefore before I even have to source for my material, calculating what is needed is essential to me to not waste any materials. For those leftover scraps, it can then be part of an accessory or even a bag made up of those scraps.

Also, upcycling can be one option to create my collection. This ensures that I will not be wasting any new fabric and be more creative in my design. I have seen a lot of designers nowadays making a collection by using an upcycling method, such as Diana Rikasari

Sourcing for sustainable alternatives to commonly used fabrics/textiles; fish leather instead of cow leather, sustainably sourced silk, recycled cotton etc. I would also look into textile industries that contributes alot of waste , eg. bed linen, shoes etc. I would also think of other ways to create fabric from waste, eg:  plastic packagings, fishnets, fruit skin etc.

The aim is to try to generate as less waste as possible and ensure that what I create, will still be able to be made into something else after. Hence, I would work my designs around the materials that I’ve sourced so that my sole focus will be on the sustainability of materials used.

Incorporate old materials and more natural fabrics/dyes. Take design inspiration from my materials.

# data[].attributes.body
I would incorporate sustainable materials or fabrics in my design collection. I could also create or make my own fabric by recycling old materials or choosing interesting products that are of no use anymore.

For design, I would follow the direction of my fabric and what it could do. For example, how stretchy or drapery it is will affect my sketches and the final outlook of the outfits.

I would also try textile dyeing using processes such as fruits and vegetables for natural dyes or digital printing as they are a much more sustainable option.

I think I would base my designs off what materials I have and the concept idea I would develop later on.

Ideally, I would focus on finding materials that are recycled or from leftovers that I already have.

# data[].attributes.body
be more careful in the sourcing of fabric and look for materials that last longer and can sustain more wear and tear and also materials that are environmentally conscious and friendly. try to source for just the right amount of materials to reduce waste and leftovers and try to reuse waste from scrap fabrics and materials.

incorporate materials that are normally unusual to use in fashion garments like plastic and cans, to create textiles as a way of recycling and being sustainable. and using sustainable means to achieve textile manipulation like using natural dyes instead of chemical dyes etc.

My approaches towards designing my collection would be firstly, considering on sourcing fabrics that are durable and always on trend additionally, sustainable, maybe made up of recycled materials.

Would also use unconventional items to further add on to my design. Also, considering using natural dyes if needed.

For my design, I would also consider the amount of fabric I am going to use and try to have lesser leftover fabrics.

Maybe could also make use of unwanted clothes or some of my leftover fabrics for some parts of my garments, to further reduce the waste fabrics I am going to have.

I would source for fabrics and materials that are more sustainable and ethically made, would definitely look more into the process of the making instead of choosing based on aesthetics.
All along I love really clean cut looks, but that had result me with a lot of fabric wastage. Hence I would now embrace the frays and raw look of the different fabrics, incorporating the remaining and scraps into my garments.
Also, I can make use of the scraps, manipulating and add it onto other existing garments to add some aesthetic elements.

Use old scraps, unwanted clothing and even materials that are not fabric. Making more clothes and fabrics is just adding to the problem. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle not 'find more alternatives to add on to the already massive waste.'

Sustainability> Comfortability >style.
stop at the problem, stop producing

Fashion and appearances are overrated so what if we have 'nice' clothes, just covering up will do. There are more than enough clothes for everyone and we need not have to look 'fashionable', 'cool', 'unique' and 'stylish'. What's the point? So what if we look 'good'? What even is 'good-looking'?
We just stress about more problems that amount to nothing.

Do not worry about what clothes you wear and the food and drinks you eat.

- digital prototyping
-in past projects I enjoy creating my own patterns either by digital printing or silk screening. So, this time around I can consider using natural dyes for a more sustainable alternative.
-ensuring that the fabrics I buy are ethically sourced. (environmental and social wise)
-creating my own textiles from scrap fabric.(patchwork, fusing,quilting etc). The different textures and colours meshed together would then be unique to the collection yay fun stuff!

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the way the model of providing clothes as made to order, locally produced, long lasting as opposed to the seasonal trend cycle already makes a brand or collection much more eco-friendly even without necessarily using green materials because the main polluting factor in fashion is the overconsumption and supply chain.

Of course when given the choice, I would use lets say cactus leather which is vegan and a lot less resource demanding as opposed to animal.

Ideally, I would like to work on the fabric and textile production side too such as using laser cutting single patterns, 3 printed parametric design, making fabric from bacteria etc that ive seen uni students researching.

- The design process that I would go with is technique and materials, using " waste " or scraps to make new fabrics with different techniques like knitting and so on.
Innovative textiles is what I would go for to create different garments that are sustainable.

- For my designs, reaching out to various people who has honed different textile techniques ( ie. around the world ) and making sure that they are ethically made. Along with that, using scraps from factories and land fill and recyclable items that can be made durable into fabrics for my garments

- Getting inspiration from various forms of art, (ie. making scrap recycled paper fibers into fabric, paper cloth )
also collaborating with different artist.

Focusing firstly on designing,I would come up with designs that uses up the maximum capacity of a fabric,in order to minimise or even reach zero waste.Limiting the type of different fabric used will also play a part in a collection.Using just a type of fabric for a whole collection would lessen the waste produced,provided designs and its considerations are planned out properly.

I would also opt to use materials  and fabrics that are made from recycled materials or those materials that is linked to an organisation,in order to support sustainability.

Making use of old unused/leftover fabrics can also be done as trimmings on a garment.

My design process will remain concept-based, and sustainability will be achieved without it being the concept itself. The most accessible and fun way to do this is by using old clothes and scrap fabrics to create the garments so i would do that. Whatever my concept is, i will try to have eco-friendly methods in it one way or another, even if it has nothing to do with my concept.

It would also be an interesting approach if i could travel to different parts of the world and find out how different cultures make their fabrics in sustainable ways and tap into that as a source for fabrics. Anything is possible
