Street Junk

Spring 2023
 

​Using deconstructed bags and dead stock cotton vegetable dyed materials, Street Junk is a sustainable collection that explores creative ways to wear things that would otherwise go to waste. Clothing pollution and overconsumption are a huge problem in the fashion industry. The cycle of consumption and production leads to so much excess waste that the fashion industry is the second biggest polluter in the world. With the ongoing threats of climate change, it is so important for designers to focus on new ways to make clothes that do not contribute to the waste process. As a collection focusing on sustainability, Street Junk works with bags at the end of their life cycle, dead stock fabric that would usually get tossed, and food that is already in excess to create a collection that utilizes repurposed materials and attempts to create a closed loop cycle.
