Sustainability: zero-waste cutting

A zero-waste design approach integrating efficiency, sustainability, and circularity. Working with renowned designer Yeohlee Teng, this project featured a jacket with pattern pieces that fit within a single square, eliminating fabric waste. The numbers on the back of the jacket represent the U.S. textile waste volume in the fashion industry, raising awareness about sustainable practices.

1999 - 18.2 billion pounds

2009 - 25.46 billion pounds

2018 - 34 billion pounds
