Recycled Fashion

Looking at how revolution changes and where fashion is at the moment everyone is trying to be 'green' enviromental friendly and looking at ways we can recycle old clothes to re-make new ones. I first starting thinking about this after visiting the Global: Cotton threads. During this exhibition it showed the ways current artist are going back to old techniques, back to the roots of where fashion began.


Gary Harvey is one of the main designers who have took the recycling idea and ran with it. This one in particular is made from 30 copies of the 'Financial Times' Looking at his work I find it amazing how he takes everyday objects and clothes and turn them into an extraordinary high fashion peices. ''The collection creates a dramatic display designed to change people’s perception of second-hand clothing and create fashion with a conscience''
