FUTURE ORIGINS  _

Future Origins is a response to the unstainable nature of the fashion industry, an industry which has become one of the most unsustainable and unethical industries on the planet; and long needed significant change. Not a radical new trend, but a strategy that will disrupt, slow down and challenge our current notion of production and consumption.

Future Origins emphasises 're-wearability'; eschewing the wastefulness of current state of fashion industry.

EACH PIECE SETS OUT TO TRANSFORM THE EPHEMERALITY OF THE EVERYDAY INTO PIECES THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME

_

The collection highlights the need for appreciation of materials, craftsmanship and a slowing down of the fashion system. Every item stands for itself and lives off the distinctiveness of the detail; with notions of totality, original perfection and timelessness.

Influence was drawn from how we wear our clothes, how fashion expresses who we are, and how our conscious choices can timelessly define us whilst simultaneously rejecting the  transient trends and materialism that are ever-present powers in today's society.
