Unique Properties

Collection develops slow fashion ideas, creating a new aesthetic through waste and scrap from the sewing industry. Unique models are delivered with a variety of stylistic combinations, from a classic snug suit to oversize. Models created from pieces symbolize versatility and multiplicity of a person, inspiring to rethink our values and re-create ourselves.

Design Challenge

Material fragments come in very different textures and colors, sometimes in different qualities, so combining it all into one product means creating a design based on random combinations. The process is long and the design is created live by laying and joining different pieces.

Research

The idea of the collection was developed to influence the evolution of sustainable fashion. Based the large amounts of waste given from fashion industry, the idea of how to create original and unique products for new aesthetics has been proposed. It is important that the new design forces consumers to think, make responsible choices and change their habits. The stylistics and patchwork methodology of Lithuanian national heritage were used for this work.

Inspiration

The creation of the collection was most inspired by Earth Overshoot Day which marks the date when humanitys demand for ecological resources and services in a given year exceeds what the Earth can regenerate in that year. In 2020, it fell on August 22. I hope to reduce earth resource consumption although a little, thanks to my design. Lithuanian national heritage is also inspiring, silhouettes and details close to the national costume, material combinations close to the Lithuanian patchwork.

Project Duration

The collection presented on January, 2021 in Kaunas, fashion house leKeckas. The presentation was presented in Lithuanian and foreign media
