WSA students in sustainable fashion initiative with Salvation Army

Sun, 18 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000 <p>Faye&comma; one of the year two students involved in the initiative&comma; emphasized the importance of the project&comma; saying&comma; &quot;Last year&comma; the Salvation Army Trading Company Ltd (SATCoL)&rsquo;s Redesigning Fashion collaboration with students from Winchester School of Art featured a collection of used textiles that students repurposed to create new high fashion garments.&quot;</p> <p>Students were given creative freedom to transform donated garments&comma; fabrics&comma; curtains&comma; blankets&comma; and sheets into wearable and desirable outfits. These outfits not only formed part of their coursework&comma; but they were also used in a photoshoot for the Salvation Army&rsquo;s Redesigning Fashion campaign which aims to address waste at every stage of the design cycle. The items were then sold in two Salvation Army pop-up shops organised by the WSA&comma; in collaboration with SATCoL.</p> <p>Additionally&comma; students selected and styled looks from donated Salvation Army items for the Winchester Green Week Fashion Show&comma; demonstrating how pre-loved clothes can be given a new lease of life.</p> <p>The collaboration between the ºÚÁÏÉç and the Salvation Army has already proven to be a success&comma; raising over &pound;1&comma;400 for The Salvation Army from sales at the pop-up shops and the fashion show.</p> <p>The scheme continues this year&comma; and the new cohort of Year two students will be challenged to create contemporary style coats from curtains donated by SATCol&comma; as well as turn donated fabrics into undergarments&comma; using zero-waste cutting techniques. Through this process&comma; students will learn to embrace unexpected materials and unknown fabric types.</p> <p>Sharon Williams&comma; programme in leader BA Fashion Design&comma; said: &ldquo;This project offers students the perfect experience to match industry standard needs to create innovations and positive solutions to issues relating to textile waste and the development of a circular design strategy.&rdquo;</p> <p>See what the Salvation Army says about the initiative in their <a href='https://salvationarmytrading.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Restyle-issue-6-Spring-2023-pages-online-TO-UPLOAD.pdf'> Reuse&comma; Repurpose&comma; Restyle magazine (p8) </a></p> <p>Find out more about the Redesigning Fashion campaign&comma; which Sophie was involved in launching. <a href='https://www.satcol.org/satcol-tv'> https://www.satcol.org/satcol-tv </a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Year two Fashion Design students at the ºÚÁÏÉç have been involved in an inspiring initiative aimed at transforming the fashion industry’s approach to sustainability.

Sun, 18 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000 <p>Faye&comma; one of the year two students involved in the initiative&comma; emphasized the importance of the project&comma; saying&comma; &quot;Last year&comma; the Salvation Army Trading Company Ltd (SATCoL)&rsquo;s Redesigning Fashion collaboration with students from Winchester School of Art featured a collection of used textiles that students repurposed to create new high fashion garments.&quot;</p> <p>Students were given creative freedom to transform donated garments&comma; fabrics&comma; curtains&comma; blankets&comma; and sheets into wearable and desirable outfits. These outfits not only formed part of their coursework&comma; but they were also used in a photoshoot for the Salvation Army&rsquo;s Redesigning Fashion campaign which aims to address waste at every stage of the design cycle. The items were then sold in two Salvation Army pop-up shops organised by the WSA&comma; in collaboration with SATCoL.</p> <p>Additionally&comma; students selected and styled looks from donated Salvation Army items for the Winchester Green Week Fashion Show&comma; demonstrating how pre-loved clothes can be given a new lease of life.</p> <p>The collaboration between the ºÚÁÏÉç and the Salvation Army has already proven to be a success&comma; raising over &pound;1&comma;400 for The Salvation Army from sales at the pop-up shops and the fashion show.</p> <p>The scheme continues this year&comma; and the new cohort of Year two students will be challenged to create contemporary style coats from curtains donated by SATCol&comma; as well as turn donated fabrics into undergarments&comma; using zero-waste cutting techniques.

The model wears a white t-shirt with a pentagram and flowers on&amp;comma; and a tiered long skirt. The outfit is completed with a red print neckerchief and sporty silver sunglasses <p dir='ltr' id='paragraph_xpyY3tYZoz2'>In the first part&comma; students styled and reinterpreted garments from Mikey Bean&rsquo;s extensive archive of Sue Clowes&rsquo; work. Through photoshoots&comma; styling&comma; and creative direction&comma; they reimagined the energy and cultural significance of the 1980s with a fresh&comma; modern voice. These outcomes were featured in Decoded magazine&comma; which launched during the exhibition&rsquo;s opening&comma; and are on display in the West Side Foyer&comma; beside the gallery.</p> <p dir='ltr' id='paragraph_LcyY3t2Zoz2'>The second part&comma; which asks students to &lsquo;reimagine&rsquo; Sue Clowes designs and inspiration&comma; culminates with a fashion show featuring original garments created by the students and inspired by Clowes&rsquo; work on Friday 17th January. The work channels her innovative spirit while offering fresh perspectives on culture and individuality.</p> <p dir='ltr' id='paragraph_YVyY3toYoz2'>The jewellery designed and made by students on Saturday Club that was also inspired by &lsquo;Collecting Sue Clowes&rsquo; exhibition will be included as accessories for the BA Fashion Design fashion Show on 17 January.</p> <p dir='ltr'><a href='/wsa/winchestergallery/current-exhibition.page'>Visit&nbsp;Collecting Sue Clowes: 1980s Fashion and Textile Design at the Winchester Gallery</a></p> <p dir='ltr'><img alt='A magazine is open on a double-page spread of a fashion photo shoot.
