All gender bathroom, Low sensory / relaxedAustralia currently contributes 200,000 tonnes of clothing to landfills every year. As a new generation of fashion designers, we have a responsibility to act on this environmental destruction and challenge the systems of fashion. Fashion Re:Generation exhibits the work of RMIT Bachelor of Fashion (Design) (Honours) graduates who are at the forefront of innovation and circular fashion design.
This exhibition displays the works of six designers: Aviva Gandler, Evie Rosa, Felicia Tiktikakis, Helena Bucheggar, Poppy Somers, and Shae Guttler. These projects are created without the constraints of commercial viability, speculating on the future of the fashion industry through their practices of re-use and upcycling, considering circular and regenerative fashion practices. Proposing practices of circularity through overprint, reconstruction of garments, crochet, and shredding, these designers speculate ways in which textile waste can be reconsidered through regenerative fashion design.
This exhibition will be on display at Brunswick Street Gallery from the 9th to the 26th of May in Gallery 4.
Participants
Delving into the opulence of Elizabethan-era fashion, ‘Rococo Decor’ merges historical aesthetics with contemporary fashion techniques. Helena re-works Rococo decorations and interior textiles such as curtains, lamps, bedsheets, pillows, and fixtures to reflect this vision while maintaining a strong commitment to sustainability. @helenabuchegger
What does it mean for fashion when more clothes dress our spaces than our bodies? Crafting, sculpting and sewing with second-hand garments, Aviva composes objects that explore the relationship between clothes, and their environments. @aviva_mira
Shae Guttler is a Melbourne-based designer, up-cycler, crocheter and pattern-maker. She blends fabric manipulation techniques, psychology, and reuse to develop modern avenues for crochet by pairing handcraft and circular methodology. Shae utilises up-cycled denim garment frames, yarn creation and application of various crochet techniques to redefine crochet’s space in fashion. Promoting slower consumerism, encouraging appreciation for handmade clothing and fostering sustainable perspectives. @shae_studios
Evie Rosa’s work explores the relationships between threads, fabric, and garments. She uses dry felting to amplify the tactile qualities of second-hand textiles and create a collage that blurs their previous histories. Through her designs, Evie invites a deeper awareness of the construction of the clothes we wear, giving them a new life. @evie_rosa
‘Oikoyeveia’ recreates compelling narratives of childhood nostalgia through close interactions with materials from family archieves, including 80’s swimsuits, pool inflatables, and towels. Each piece is imbued with sentimental meanings and memories, preserving a connection to the past. @fos2.021
