Recycling Fashion

thingiverse

According to the Business Insider, the fashion industry emits more carbon than international flights and maritime shipping combined. It produces 10% of all humanity’s carbon emissions, is the second-largest consumer of the world’s water supply, and pollutes the oceans with microplastics. Fashion and recycling have worked in tandem for decades through upcycling, vintage and charity shops, but now designers are becoming increasingly adventurous, creating stylish, beautiful designs from an array of waste products. In this project, pupils create fashion clothes and jewelry out of recycling materials. Finally, we release our files to the public and make them available to any school/organization/individual with an access to a 3D printer, hopefully, environmentally aware too! <b>Concept/realization</b>: Dimitris Fotiou, Sculptor - Art teacher <b>eTwinning project collaborators</b>: Natalia Tzitzi, Anita Simac <b>Schools involved</b> (so far): 10th Helioupolis Primary School, Helioupolis, Attica, Greece // OS Petra Preradovica, Croatia <b>Visit the <a href="https://twinspace.etwinning.net/93409/pages/page/841633">eTwinning project page</a></b> <b>View more images on <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/__df__/albums/72157715397790053">Flickr</a></b> <b>View more videos on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLS7bYT6vzMRbUxiHbBoZRYe0PWcbrX8xc">YouTube</a></b>
