The new plan is to release a capsule of three to four styles every month of the year. Although each lineup will exist independently of the others, they’ll also be cohesive in nature, creating a seamless—and complete—“collection” at the end of the year. This strategy will allow me more freedom with the design and development of individual pieces, which can stand alone rather than be tethered to a collection. Doing so will also allow me to expand my production outlets, since each capsule can focus on a different theme, say rainwear made from recycled plastic bottles in New York City for the month of March, hand-knit sweaters produced by a women’s cooperative in Peru for October, or custom-printed zero-waste styles for December.

Creative Pattern-Making Symposium Seeking Presenters

I just came across this interesting call for papers for creative pattern-making around the same time this article appeared about fashion designers like Titania Inglis and Tara St. James of Study NY embracing zero-waste pattern-making techniques.  Of course, in my mind zero-waste is equated with the work and efforts of Timo Rissanen, who along with Holly McQuillan curated the Yield: Making Fashion Without Waste exhibition that was held last year at the Textile Arts Center.
