Ethics in Fashion

From Standing Room Only 12 July 2015

An Auckland art project is trying to change our thinking about fashion, by encouraging us to create zero waste garments. For Make/Use a design team based at the Objectspace gallery are designing, making and modifying garments that not only produce no waste, but are fashionable and flattering.

Internationally there's a real push for zero waste design and manufacture of products. Make/Use Project Leader Holly McQuillan says they've come up with several ways to help people interested in making their own zero waste garments.
