Colour and pattern are essential elements of a fashion designer’s creative toolkit, but the way we apply them to fashion materials is widely criticised for its use of water, chemical and energy resources.
Going back to the chemistry of the natural sources of pigments, this project will develop a sustainable coloration system for clothing and accessories.
All of my work is inspired by my love of nature and colour, so it’s extremely exciting to work on a project that brings the two together with the incredible combined expertise of Future Fashion Factory, the Royal College of Art, University of Leeds and our industry partner.
