360° is a textile-focused brand created to explore different methods of up-cycling fashion. The idea was inspired by researching the dramatic effects of sea pollution reported from across the globe. This problem has now come full circle, as not only is it killing our sea-life but it is poisoning the food we consume, which is now beginning to affect the fertility rate of women. 360° will reuse materials found both around the home and collected from rubbish sites and fashion them in ways to create art work, patterns and prints for garments. Not only will this look attractive and be environmentally friendly, but it will raise awareness of the high level of pollution which is being hidden beneath miles of seawater. It will also instigate discussion and action on how to solve and address this growing global issue.
