Sustainable Design of Gary Harvey

Gary Harvey is a British fashion designer, who is well-known in sustainable design.

The pollution is a big problem today, which means it's important to recycle. Gary believes anything even rubbish can be redesign and become new garments.

This dress is designed by Gray. He chose recycled newspaper as material to make a sustainable design.

Recycled clothes can be beautiful. That's the idea Gary tried to present through his collection. The materials he used to design were all recycled. He chose denim jeans, trench coats, even garbage bags to design dresses.

It reminded me some of my previous works. In order to develop my idea, I collected recycled paper to create some texture.

Gary Harvey and his collection inspired me to focus on the materials we select. Choosing recycled materials is a good way to develop sustainable design.
