A Sustainable Marriage

Overview

The project aims to use the skills and knowledge of the 2 student cohorts to re-examine the notion of ‘throwaway fashion’ and promote a new concept in clothing using dissolvable fabric, as a metaphor and as a vehicle. By bringing together the skills of post graduate Engineering students working with Polymers and other biodegradable/bio compostable innovative materials and first and second year undergraduate Fashion students skills of design, pattern cutting and garment manufacture the aim is to produce the ‘Ultimate Wedding Gown’ as a vehicle to draw attention to the concept of throwaway fashion.
