Recycle Runway Research

Research

I have collected some research that has inspired me to use recycled materials. All of these designers have used recycled materials to create their designs. 

Jamie K

Necklace made from shotgun shells and dress made from recycled tent. 

Necklace made from soda cans. 

Dress made from recycled vinyl records. 

All of Jamie K's creations are made using recycled materials, above are some examples of her work.

She collects her recycled materials either by collecting items other people have discarded or other people save and collect items for her. Her design process begins with experimentation and sampling with the materials until she is inspired to create a garment/accessory. 

Armour Sans Anguish

Dresses made from salvaged materials. 

Each gathering of dresses are made with an assortment of recycled and salvaged materials and no two are alike . In the skirt you'll find tons of layers utilizing a wide variety of found bits from, for example, a lace sleeve from a vintage gown, gobs of tulle and lace, hankies, and vintage veils. They also use materials such as leather and sequins.

Love It Jewellery is made from 96% recycled and vintage materials and for each purchase 15% is donated to Save the Turtles.
