Short Description
Fashion investigation of grown and crafted biomaterials merging digital fabrication & craftsmanship
Detailed Description
eco_Shaman[t]_Garde [ecologic + shamanism + avantgarde]
is an investigative fashion project that, through a compostable outfit, aims to raise the awareness on the alternative biomaterials that can replace oil-based products.
The focus stands on the importance of disrupting the market of overconsumption we are living, to prove that we can actually change to a nature-feeding approach, collaborating and re-connecting with the environment, instead of raping and polluting it.
Makers, fashion avant-gardists, costume designers, material/textile producers: this project is for everyone interested in changing the current mentality and approach to fashion/clothes/design/ LIFEstyle.
Project Details
- Does your design take social and cultural challenges and human wellbeing into consideration?
The project is merging old craftsmanship techniques with digital fabrication, for instance combining felting and laser-cutting; 3D printing and growing mushrooms, natural dyes and "re-inventing the weaving method". All following the guidelines of modularity and adaptability.
- Does your design support sustainable production, embodying circular or regenerative design practices?
The project is rooted locally in Barcelona.
Using bacterias and mushrooms grown locally, seaweed and food waste from the municipality.
It would be great as a starting-project for a local "FarmLab", where to grow and craft your own material, and eventually your own clothes.
- Does your design use principles of distribution and open source?
My project is basically scalable worldwide, because it's using seaweed, mushroom, Kombucha, food waste, natural fibres, 3D compostable filaments and techniques that are open source. So the entire outfit could be reproduced everywhere to raise the awareness and the curiosity of the people regarding real alternatives to oil-based products.
- Does your design promote awareness of responsible design and consumption?
The project wants to demonstrate the feasibility and application of compostable materials to fashion garments and outfits, rising the awareness on the existence of alternatives to oil-based materials, showing how each of us could grow and craft a wardrobe by themselves at home.
