Right now at London College of Fashion there are some amazing exhibitions. Down at Bond Street campus, there's a mixed bag in the current exhibition including butterflies exploding from books, cardboard artworks reminding us to recycle and a rather scary shelf of memorial candles to dead dictators and serial killers.
In amongst, though - and more relevant to this blog - are two beautiful pieces on recycling. Nadine Richards from the BA Footwear Design course created a recycled and sustainable pair of shoes. (Click for larger!)
The shoes are made from vegetarian tanned leather, fold down collars and laces made from a 70s vintage scarf. The heels and soles are taken from an unwanted pair of shoes.
Not only do I love the idea, but I love the finished outcome. I would definitely wear these.
Julia Roebuck from BA Textile Design created a dress made of three pairs of trousers donated to Oxfam. She says its "A comment on the increase of value and fast fashion culture that has evolved, allowing garments to become disposable."
Very All Saints, no?
