Venette Waste makes ‘Waste Couture’, a clothing collection aiming to construct the wardrobe 2.0 (woman & unisex) where garments are made with the best Italian textiles industry left-overs. Sustainability is the strategic lever of the collection, while proposing a Venette’s lifestyle (a comic about a fashion designer and her hawk Horus). 28 We take pride in making products by producing nothing. This is how our dresses are sold as for every single stage of production, presentation and even packaging we use already existing things. Green This Season MAGAZINE July 2013 “We go the extra mile, we think and go beyond recycling and beyond organic, granting a life cycle to goods that never had one. These goods, in Italy, mainly consist of textile stocks left in companies’ warehouses. These textile stocks have a negative influence on budgets, and their end is already defined; either burned with an environmental impact or sold at a token price to stockists who will place the product in a low market, creating further devaluation and negative linked activity.”
