Charette

Our Charette explored fast fashion and the wasteful nature of modern clothing industry. It challenged us to make garments out of rubbish, and then to display these in a show at the end of the week. A variety of materials were used, including different kinds of paper, coffee sacks, an old bike and waste from the other Charette groups.

Our group decided to use material off cuts, gathered from tailors around the city. With this we created satirical take on royal attire. The aim being both a quip at regal garments, but also an attempt to elevate the rubbish we had found, and give it new potential and meaning.
