evie batts Fashion Designer the dancer v v Eve d m 12 street edition Redeemed is a sustainable fashion collection that uses New Zealand designer’s waste fabric and off-cuts, as well as pre-loved garments, to create ethical outfits for all seasons of the year. The world is at its tipping point due to over consumption and unsustainable fashion practices that arise from the design, production and manufacture of disposable garments. Redeemed focuses on re-using, re-shaping and re-styling pre-loved clothing into new garments from landfill breathing a new life into fashion wastage. Unfinished and raw edges communicate the original form of the fabric as well as portraying the world raw and threadbare, on the verge of unravelling or falling apart. Redeemed’s colour pallet includes black, charcoal grey, red as well as pop of mustard originating from the process of destruction, explosions, as and general chaotic imagery. The selected colour palette is achieved by the use of naturally made dyes and mordants, creating the tones needed while working within the perimeters of eco-friendly practices.
