“We are explorers” started with an idea of how I make garments and how I can develop into less damaging fashion practices with responsibility to the planet and our future. It is based on Zero waste pattern making inspired by Hanbok, Korean traditional clothes, which are made from simple panels to be from the cloth with little waste. Zero waste is a design technique to minimize excess fabric at the design and cutting stages. This means being clever with the use of space while designing a pattern that interlocks like puzzle pieces or using up leftover of fabric to make accessories. By combining contemporary elements and sustainable design concept with silhouettes inspired by Hanbok, it allows the collection to be creative whilst also remaining true to the value and explores how sustainable aesthetic might be achieved through cultural heritage. It is about the combination of the old and new, and simplicity and complexity, being authentic and looking to the future.
