‘THE
FUTURE FAST FASHION TYPOLOGY’ KOMBUCHA FLAB
Acadamic Project
Fall 2024

Instructor: Nancy Ji
Contact:yao.ji@unimelb.edu.au
Site Location: The District Shopping Mall, Docklands , VIC
The evolving technique makes the fast fashion industry grow. Fast Fashion forms a toxic system of overproduction and consumption, and it has made fashion one of the world’s largest polluters. Fast fashion’s negative impact includes using cheap, toxic textile dyes—making the fashion industry one of the largest polluters of clean water globally, right up there with agriculture. But even “natural” fabrics can be a problem at the scale fast fashion demands. Conventional cotton requires enormous amounts of water and pesticides in India and China. This results in drought risks and creates extreme stress on water basins and competition for resources between companies and local communities.
Introducing Kombucha Flab, a unique concept that combines a Kombucha Brewery Factory and Sewing Cafe. At Kombucha Flab, we utilize the waste produced during the Kombucha fermentation process, known as SCOBY, to create fashion products through sewing with old clothes donated by the community in the District Docklands. The clothes off cut will send to textile brick maker space to turn the off cuts to bricks , or insulation in the building.See This initiative serves as an activism to promote biodegradable fashion and address the excessive local fast fashion industry.
By repurposing materials and encouraging sustainable practices, Kombucha Flab contributes to reducing textile waste and fostering a culture of environmental consciousness within the community. Join us in our mission to promote eco-friendly fashion and make a positive impact on our environment.
