to recycle from the fashion cycle

A collection of materials that are reused designer would otherwise be discarded. Tiffany Tan reports. Refuse collection must wish there were more designers such as Lam Janko. Born in Hainan Province has created a fashion collection for Esprit, using materials that were left in a landfill. She made jeans, T-shirts, shorts, dresses, vests, skirts and jackets made of waste from private-label tissue and unused clothing. Lam denim pieces integrate patches in various shades of blue, while the T-shirts in pink, purple and gray are grainy - a result of a mix of colorful rags. The T-shirts were not voluntarily re-color, Spirit says to keep the production as environmentally friendly as possible. "Using waste material should be more discipline and creativity," Lam said by telephone from Hong Kong, where she went to design school and lived the last 16 years. "You need to follow the sustainable and experiences with many models." Luckily, she has had practice. Mutt Museum, the fashion label she co-founded in 2010, after working for a couple of suits from Hong Kong television station design that uses mostly recycled materials. His cheongsams be made from recycled material and waste their fashion accessories made from wood waste. The Creator, who is in his late 20s slumped, the Esprit project by winning last year's inaugural meeting Ecochic Design Award in Hong Kong. The competition, organized by the NGO, the repair mode, aims to inspire "fashion designers emerging Asia to mainstream fashion with minimal waste textiles to create." Hong Kong, where repair is based, a dump 234 tons textile waste to landfills every day, on average, according to 2010 figures from the city department of environmental protection. On the continent - the world's largest exporter of clothing - the producers of cotton clothes only 800,000 tonnes of textile waste per year. "And the number continues to rise," Gong Yan, associate professor at Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology, who studies the materials of the garment, said. Chinese textile factories, he said, undesirable substances in various ways, including sending to landfills, burning, burying. But these practices are not sustainable. "They limit the amount of recycling and waste of resources and produce pollution," Falun, a member of the All-China Federation Environment Research Committee on Standards for Environmental Protection, said. "As synthetic fibers break easily, the soil where they are to harden in the landfill. Same time, the harmful particles from textile waste into the soil and groundwater seepage. Burning, on the other hand, generates a lot of carbon dioxide and carbon powder, and on the environment. " The use of recycled materials or discarded as a response to the destruction of the environment is becoming more common in the fashion world. But designers like Lam are still rare in China. "As a rule, produce the rich, developed countries, most waste, and perhaps for this reason that this (trend) occurs more in them:" Timo Rissanen, assistant professor of fashion design and sustainability at Parsons The New School for Design in New York, told China Daily. This year, the repair of the design competition Ecochic made on the Chinese mainland. The winner, who will be appointed at the Shanghai Fashion Week in October, is also a collection for recycling spirit that wants to use its waste material. As Lam drawings, these designer pieces will be sold only in selected stores in the spirit land. For consumers that recycled clothing to protect not only eco-conscious, but also new and hygiene came to repair the certificate R (patent pending). "The demand for waste paper, which was clean and identify the" factory "is particularly important for Asian consumers who are aware of a whole tends to be stronger and more careful wearing second-hand products," said Christina Dean, the British founder and CEO of the repair, . She said that more retailers are keen to pursue certification, the consumer, where the clothes came and how they are green allowed. Such initiatives, but still agree within the margins of the world of fashion, for a healthier choice. "I think what we in terms of how sustainable is the creation of an alternative to do," Orsola de Castro, founder of the London label, sustainable fashion from somewhere, and a competition judge Ecochic said. "It's amazing to think that fashion is now cheap, fast fashion ... suddenly disappear and everything turns green. I think it is impossible to imagine. But also, we need to do is to make room for an alternative to . make "

Pravin Talan-My Inspiration

Almost ten years ago, I stood before the grandeur of the Taj Mahal for the first time I felt small and insignificant. In fact, lost.

And then in my youth I was in awe not only surprising but also the history behind its creation. This is a king had a beautiful final resting place for his beloved inspired me to build and operate the romance in my heart, in the poetry I wrote as freely as the river Yamuna was flowing on the banks of which, the Taj was so majestic.

After years of traveling to see and the world, I returned home, Taj, and going about this, what was its true meaning. Each stone, in silence, spoke from the heart of an emperor and the souls of artists, painted on each sculpture, carved in each entry.

He called me to capture the essence of the artisans in my own expression. "With Love From Taj" is the timelessness of the Taj, dedicated to the beauty of women, our valued traditions and artistic refinement.

I know that life is not enough to catch it ... Mood changes with the seasons and inspirations with each passing year.

Today I am feeling from the Taj and still a little ... But now, my soul feels timeless connection and I know I made a long and exciting journey.

This calendar is only the beginning.
