Out of Fashion

The fast fashion industry dumps textile waste in Africa, exacerbating environmental degradation and global social injustice. Known as “waste colonialism” the issue is created in the global north but dealt with in the global south. This flip-side of fashion has enormous economic and environmental consequences and impacts the urban designscape. Lomé's Hedzranawoe market is one of West Africa’s main hubs for discarded clothes to get sold, altered or turned into objects. The installation Out of Fashion is made with discarded jeans sourced at the market. It draws attention to the issue while showcasing the creative potential of transforming waste material through design.
