The International Fashion Industry Uses Leftover Materials For Environmental Protection.

Is there not a waste of cloth in the process of cutting? This is probably the most disruptive environmental protection in the international fashion industry.

Got it!

A few days ago, New York Times reported that some top fashion design schools had begun to prepare the course, not to test students' practical ability, but to reduce thousands of tons of garbage every year. Only in the United States, 15% to 20% of the fabric was thrown away as a leftover material.

In order to achieve zero leftover material in the process of cutting, we need to start with the innovation of garment design technology.

According to reports, a few years ago, there were some enthusiastically interested in environmental protection.

Designers began the experiment, and it has finally become a climate.

Next month, the Parson Design Institute in New York will take the lead in setting up a zero scrap design course; a book called sustainable development: changing our production and use.

The book will be published in February next year. There will be two fashion shows in the two quarter of spring and autumn, which are designed with zero cutting edges as the design concept. They will be staged in New Zealand and New York. Next year, Chicago will also hold an exhibition featuring the theme of "zero scrap".

However, it is necessary to save both cloth and material.

It's not easy to do well.

One of the sponsors of the zero scrap movement, Parson, assistant professor of design school at Rissanen, told New York Times that "it means that I have to learn design from the very beginning, and the first year and a half is basically spent in trying and making mistakes."

According to his experience, the so-called zero cutting material is tailored to two ways, or first to design the clothing style, then carefully cut the necklines, sleeves, pockets and other parts, then spell them together like jigsaw puzzle, or simply do not cut a knife, directly hang the material on the model body to fold and sew.

However, the New York Times points out that these design techniques have not yet attracted the attention of large garment manufacturers.

Simon Collins, Parson of the school of design, said: "they are willing to try a little, but they can not make up their minds to practice in large scale."

This is largely related to cost, because changing the way of clipping means changing the width of cloth doors commonly used in the industry. For many manufacturers, the money saved on cloth is not enough to introduce new production lines.
