About the idea
Out Of The Blue is born from a strong passion for fashion and and personal reflection on what we can do to improve our quality of life without affecting the world around us. The protagonist of the project is the most widely used item of clothing: jeans. Often we don’t think about the environmental impact of the whole fashion system, but contrary to what we might think, it is quite significant. In addition, there are problems related to the health of workers and users, and water pollution produced by the entire creation of the garment.
About the installation
The installation is made up entirely of broken, damaged or simply used jeans that have been donated for the project through a collection campaign and will be donated to charity for use by those in need. The whole thing hangs entirely from the ceiling at a height of about 2 meters from the ground.
About the booklet
The booklet contains the research and sociological analysis of the environmental impact of the garment and the relationship people have with it. The latter is aimed at raising awareness of the subject among those who are beginning to approach the consumerist world of shopping: adolescents and children.
