Exhibits ranged from customised denim and multi-functional streetwear to compostable wedding dresses and reclycled evening wear.
Well Fashioned examined the various ways in which fashion designers approach ‘green’ fashion, from materials and processes to concepts and techniques.
Some outfits use organic or alternative fabrics like hemp, bamboo, wild silk and ingeo. Other exhibitors considered the ecological value of synthetic fabrics and biodegradable and recycled plastics.
Curator Rebecca Earley commented: ‘We hope that the exhibition will sow the seeds of change for a more ecological and ethical approach to fashion. Click here for more information.
