The textile and fashion industries globally produce millions of
tons of solid waste every year through the many processes used -
from yarn production, weaving, knitting, dyeing, and finishing, to
apparel construction, quality inspection, and unsold goods -
generating waste at each step. Typically, this waste is sent to
landfills, incinerated or, at best, recycled in to low-quality
fibres used for industrial applications. Scraps, timed to publish
concurrently with Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum's
exhibition of the same name, presents three designers' alternative
approaches to the shockingly high human and environmental costs of
textile industry waste. Inspired by the long tradition of using
handcraft to give new life to scraps and cast-offs, each of the
three featured designers - Christina Kim, Reiko Sudo and Luisa
Cevese - takes an entirely different approach to contending with
textile waste, but all make recycling an integral part of their
design practice. The delicate beauty of the fabrics featured in
Scraps ensure a seductive visual experience throughout the pages
framing the exploration of sustainable design practices: using
materials and resources efficiently, providing meaningful labour,
sustaining local craft traditions and exploring new technologies as
integral to the recycling process.
