Overview
This Upcycling Fashion program at EDH Groupe was initially created in collaboration with Bridget Artise, founder of Born again Vintage, to plant a seed. Now that Upcycled Fashion is trending this class offers the opportunity to step into the world of Sustainable Fashion.
Since Sustainable Fashion is the future of retail, our future depends on us to be smarter with our textile waste. With over 21 billion kilos of clothing landing in our landfills every year (US alone), not only is this class fun but a necessity, worldwide. IFA Paris and Born Again Vintage will open the international doors of Sustainable Fashion via this Upcycling and Clothing Reconstruction Class.
Teaching strategies
- You will be taught how to deconstruct a garment and reassemble using key parts of the garment. You will have several choices of projects that will be geared to your experience/skill level. Having the students deconstruct a garment piece by piece – reteaches how a garment is constructed.
- Once each garment is completely deconstructed, you will determine with your lecturer’s help what key elements of the garment you would like to keep and parts you want to discard.
- The pieces are then reassembled creating a completely different garment, the discarded pieces serve as extra fabric needed to embellish finished garment. Most to all of the original piece is used and/or ideas are given to utilize leftover fabric. This teaches the zero-waste concept.
- What you learn at the end is that with a little work and creativity you can make something new from something old and old clothes are never seen the same way again.
