Zero Waste Fashion Design Using Paper Folding Methods

While development of industrial and economic growth brought abundance and convenience our society, they also caused severe environmental issues and problems. Recently governments and industries have tried to find ways to resolve these environmental issues in various fields of researches. In fashion, there are also studies and efforts such as choosing eco-friendly materials, re-using or reducing wastages. Out of these, Zero-waste fashion is drawing attention as a practical approach that can reduce or remove the once inevitable clothing waste through a thorough pre-arranged plan. The aim of this study is to present some designs of zero-waste, the ecofriendly, sustainable, and creative way of making clothes, by adopting paper-folding. In so doing, the designs express structural and artistic beauty.

The pieces for this project <Rectangle:Re_Angle> aim to realize the concept Zero Waste, which stands for eco-friendly and ethical fashion design, using the whole rectangular  fabric without leaving any leftovers. By adopting some of skills of paper-folding, I could find new angles and create some new dimensional silhouettes. These transformable designs, enabling changing a jumpsuit to a dress, or changing a coat to a shirt and a decorative scarf, have maximized their utilitarian value.

A designer's will to make spirit and material harmonized and not to waste anything form nature has led to this new way of making clothes. I hope this could provide you with an opportunity to rethink about the beauty in fashion.
