Green Producer Diary
My Motivation
My inspiration was the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, whose work I like a lot because of the use of colours and textures. I wanted to pay a tribute to the artist and enrich it by making a sustainable design to prove that a striking garment can also be produced with recycled materials and contribute to stop global warming and the rest of very negative effects of climate change and the constant use to produce and use new materials.
My Vetrine Journey
The stages were the usual ones when you start thinking of a project that has sustainability at the centre. First you must investigate a lot in materials that are reused and how you can get them and then, with your source of inspiration you start designing. There weren’t big challenges, only the usual ones especially when you need some elements of your design to have volume, like with the flowers in my case. It was solved with testing different types of papers that were available from scraps and left behind in unused rolls.
Sustainability Aspect | Your Actions / Explanation |
|---|---|
Environmental | Used natural dyes, reduced water usage, recycled materials. |
Social | |
Financial | Very low production cost. |
A Message to Consumers
I would like them to share my inspiration and appreciate the work of Frida Kahlo too and the colour contrasts in her work that I have tried to show in my suit, with very striking red in the flowers and stained trousers to reflect that not all in her life was as colorful.
A Message to Future Learners
I don’t know, I guess mostly that they like what they do and that they are patient because sustainability concepts and actions are not so easy to transmit to the general population.
