Young designers to display environment friendly fashion

Kingston University fashion expert Jo Norman said: "Through projects such as this we are able to cultivate a new breed of designers who can confidently engage with science and technology on a much deeper level.

“The InCrops project has seen an even broader depth of research integrating both materials and process as the students strived to create ecological and sustainable luxury fashion.

“Cork, wood – from log to shavings – and bamboo had all been included as part of this focus on the future of fashion, with Bez Baik's architectural style of design bringing a completely new angle to ecological fashion,” Ms Norman added.

"With InCrops’ invaluable support, the students have been inspired to incorporate low carbon development as an integral part of their design process. This experience will remain with them throughout their careers.”

The Kingston University MA Fashion Show will take place on Thursday 12 September at Queen Elizabeth Hall on London’s Southbank. It will include an exhibition of some of the work produced as part of the InCrops collaboration as well as a catwalk show.
