Fashion Waste Bag

2008

– Application to Beckmans College of Design.

The brief was to develop season-specific bags for Acne. These bags are created from waste. All wasted pieces from the clothing production is sewn together to form new fabric, this is then used to sew the bags. This gives each bag a unique pattern, while at the same time reflecting the collection as a whole. A kind of mood board of the current style. I show here an example of a bag from Acnes S/S collection 2008. For Christmas the bag would gatherer its look from that year's A/W collection and so on. Over time the bags also become documents of their time.
