Up cycle old clothes or use the cuts to make new things<br />see my examples<br />http://meaussi.blogspot.com/Zvetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34783631.post-34427194315198822212010-09-29T08:09:31.973-04:002010-09-29T08:09:31.973-04:00Congratulations on a great article on zero waste i...Congratulations on a great article on zero waste in Helsingin Sanomat today!<br /><br />Keep up the good work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34783631.post-26571526828221938672010-09-04T19:38:47.291-04:002010-09-04T19:38:47.291-04:00I'm so impressed with the zero waste design pr...I'm so impressed with the zero waste design process; I'm just shaking my head at people who don't get it. Of course it's always better to use as little resources as possible to make an item and to have as little waste as possible. Since even recycling consumes energy, obviously the less waste that is generated, the better. Stay strong, you're "preaching to the choir" with me!wavedevanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34783631.post-34891358890691228162010-08-23T21:34:24.384-04:002010-08-23T21:34:24.384-04:00I work with re-purposing beach plastic, waste plas...I work with re-purposing beach plastic, waste plastic that gyrates all oceans and eventually ends up on our beaches. Collection is called Plastic is Forever. Like you I've been a designer for too long to know what waste there is, I started CK @ calvin Klein and had given up when this concept became my destiny. Great, as yet secret collaborations on the horizon, keep watching out for it...<br />http://itsamanmadeworld.wordpress.com/barbihttp://itsamanmadeworld.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34783631.post-86616867553408811172010-08-23T08:43:51.208-04:002010-08-23T08:43:51.208-04:00I actually had a chat about this with Tara St Jame...I actually had a chat about this with Tara St James yesterday; how it should be about finding the appropriate solution to a particular problem. Too right: too often people want a blanket solution, to stay on the blanket theme :)Timo Rissanenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07917226462405823618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34783631.post-72718179619335026382010-08-23T00:53:31.377-04:002010-08-23T00:53:31.377-04:00Fantastic post Timo - So often people want a one s...Fantastic post Timo - So often people want a one size fits all solution to every problem - The most common question i get is "why is what you do better than any other 'eco fashion' approach?" I always say it is another tool to use - you just need to have a bunch at your disposal and know when to best use each - recycling is one tool, but there are often better ways to deal with waste (have none to start with!). I love the image of the beautiful coat and ugly waist (waste?) coat. Really illustrates what we are NOT about!Holly McQuillanhttp://precariousdesign.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
