Description of the initiative

An imaginary "No Waste Association" is launching a campaign about a no waste attitude in fashion - to design and to easy recycle the garments after use.The association invites fashion designers and  brands to design a "No Waste Capsule" of products with the maximum attention in no wasting materials, saving time/energy, avoid useless treatments or accessories, easy disassembling etc..The students will choose a designer/brand and will design the "No Waste Capsule" following the iconic message of the designer/brand.By this workshop the students are invited to  consider all the different aspects of designing a product with a specific message, through the following steps: 
  • Philosophy: "No Waste". The students will  design  products using the minimum possible waste of fabrics/materials, they will examine the essential or unnecessary treatments and accessories, they will study how to avoid useless workmanship in terms of saving labour and energy, they will explore the possibility to design a garment considering the after-use-recycling.
  • Culture: they will study which are the iconic message in terms of image and communication about the designer/brand in order to define the essential DNA. This will be achieved by studying  its products and communication (advertising, fashion shows, website, social, events, celebrities, eventual social output etc.)
  • Creativity: they will design a new look/item which will represent the brand and will deliver a compact focused no-waste message to the market.
  • Technique: the students will design and produce the garment (one item or one outfit).
  • Strategy: they will study a sustainable capsule to be delivered and communicated to the market.
