Overview
Key Features
The fashion industry produces staggering amounts of waste. In the The White Project - Zero-waste Design for Fashion programme from University of Southampton you will discover how zero waste garments were the standard from the use of animal skins and single pieces of woven material to make a peplos, sari or kilt. Learn how a history of disassembling, mending, and reusing simple fabric shapes continued right up until the mid-20th Century.Explore your creativity and consider how you can work with your design research in your practice. Use white Tyvek material to eliminate the distraction of colour or print so you can focus on technique, cut and form. Produce a final zero waste design supported by a portfolio of evidence.
