fashion is...
problem-solving, just like any design field. I approach it as a blend of personal and social desires with technical and mathematical challenges. I iterate over original designs according to the specific needs of a piece, source appropriate materials, make the pattern, plan the tech pack, cut and sew, and perform any value addition. Though I enjoy the full process of apparel construction, pattern-making has been my favorite step since high school. It has the most opportunity for real design work. It is the pattern-maker who numbers the strands on a mohair garment and plans zipper placement within an eighth of an inch.
The impact of fashion is another problem to solve. The apparel industry is one of the largest water polluters, dumping 20% of the world's waste water, and many textiles do not degrade, filling 5% of landfills with textiles that take over 500 years to decompose. Donating old clothes has its own associated problems, competing with fledgling domestic industries overseas. The apparel industry also doesn't necessarily pay a living wage or ensure its factories are maintained. Valuing a low price tag over a manufacturing country of origin with proper labor protection has a human cost, most famously in the Dhaka, Bangladesh garment factory collapse.
These are macro problems that can't be solved at the micro level. We can be good stewards over our little plot of Earth, though. To me, the best approach is to buy fewer but more practical things, get as many uses as possible out of what we have, and source the materials for new things from salvage. I'm not perfect, though. Sometimes, brand new polyester fabric really is what a design needs, and sometimes I get dazzled by the coolest buttons and forget to check their country of origin. Then I'm sure there's other severe issues completely unknown to me. Minizing my impact is the best I can do, honestly.
I make individual or small batches of my designs. I'd like to be able to digitize patterns and sell them, but for now, read about my collections on the fashion page.
