MATERIALS: Plastic umbrella bags, calendar, studio scraps CONCEPT: What happens to all that "stuff" when we're done with it? How can they be re-in-
vented? The materials used for this garment are old calendars, used umbrella plastic bags from the school's campus, a used clear plastic raincoat, scrap materials from studio, and a broken pair of sunglasses. All of these items are considered to be waste, but this garment shows that they can be re-used to create something that is modern, stylish, and chic.

MATERIALS: interwoven Plastic water bottlesto make the dress, CD disks CONCEPT: my first thought went to plastic bottles, due to the amount of them found in Land-
fills and the lengthy time it takes for them to degrade. They are some of the least recyclable elements out there. I can see why they are so unpopular within the recycling community. Manipulating them requires a lot of energy and force, rendering it much less sustainable than other options. The process, however has inspired many low-impact design options that can be executed easily by any end-user. I'm happy to showcase it, to the best of ability, with this project.
