Director of Studies in Design, Alan Holmes, gave a talk on the creative processes a designer takes to design fashion. It was quite an inspiring talk, delving in to the ideas of using resources, UP-cycling as opposed to RE-cycling, turning facts from the past in to future fiction, new ways of buying, sharing and borrowing clothes i.e clothes libraries, internet shopping, Oxfam & WasteSaver partnership and Amy Twigger Holroyd's "Keep & Share". Here are a few helpful websites and articles linking to these ideas of eco-friendly fashion:

Re-cycling clothing can also be about helping others, too. As a modern community, we donate and support less-fortunate people more than ever: http://www.wear2bank.co.uk/
