The intervention in the large companies shows that most of them are profit-oriented and show no real interest in recycle their unsold inventory. Of course, it could be that they’re not interested in working with fashion school students.
So I set my sights on kids, who are the future of the world. I wanted to change the way they think about blue jeans by educating them how to recycle or up-cycle. When I explained my project to some parents, they are very happy to let their kids to join this workshop.
I’d like to influence the kids about the concept of up-cycle their unuse blue jeans because Jeans are one of the most polluted fabric on the word. Kids are our future, opinions from them are very valuable. For example, Greta Tintin Eleonora Ernman Thunberg , the Swedish environmental activist who is known for challenging world leaders to take immediate action for climate change.
I hope that through this work shop, children can understand the harm of jeans and get some inspiration on how to recycle or up-cycle their old jeans.
LOU is a part time student of MAAI class and also a teacher who teaches children to draw. When I explain my project on line to her, she is very exciting. Then I sent her a PDF about the up-cycle blue jeans , Hoping to hear her students’ opinions.
