The fashion industry is one that leaves behind a huge environmental footprint. There is a need for our students to understand the enormous negative impact the fashion industry has on the planet. In Year 10 Fashion and Design last term, the students learnt how manufacturing and designing clothes can maximise the benefits to the fashion industry and society, while at the same time minimising its impact on the environment.
To promote sustainability, the students constructed garments from recycled bed sheets. The aesthetic value of their garments was enhanced by applying special and unique designs, including embroidery and the use of sequins.
The students completed some of the task during lockdown and showed great skill in turning the bedsheets into amazing fashion pieces. Well done, everyone.
