Presents: Mens ready to wear.
This collection of Men’s Jackets are made from discarded sample header pieces, using a zero waste Jacket pattern.
Lockwood created these garments from fabrics fashion designers throw away.
She literally gathers fabrics that fashion designers dispose of at factories and designer studio in dumpsters.
The fashion industry disposes of massive quantities fabric which creates greenhouse gasses that are increasing global warming.
Her mission is to get the fashion industry to change its practices of waste and pollution, to a regenerative process through creative uses of waste fabrics.
