Danielle Feheley’s final piece was developed to create a completely sustainable collection by upcycling vintage denim. This method enabled her to expand the lifespan of the material whilst reducing the need for new resources and to reduce textile waste. Feheley designed a collection that is innovative and fashion forward: using techniques such as weaving, layering and patchwork and experimenting with sustainable finishes that included laser etching to give an acid wash effect without using harmful dyes and zero waste water. These unique designs raise awareness of the importance of upcycling: proving that fast fashion standards should not limit creativity in the fashion industry.
