Parsons School of Design held a contest where students would have to produce an eco-friendly, sustainable denim product, using "zero waste."
The school taught "zero waste" in a 15-week course this past fall.
Student Andria Crescioni won the challenge and her product will be mass produced and sold as part of Loomstate's Fall 2011 collection.
Simon Collins, dean of the School of Fashion, [stated]: “Zero-waste requires a different approach to design because you have one further step. You have to figure out if there’s waste and how to accommodate that waste. As Timo [Rissanen, who taught the course] said very eloquently, you have to unlearn much of what you know about design.” A somewhat surprising statement coming from the dean of a notoriously strict fashion design school.
Fabulous, darling
