Beazley Designs of the Year Fashion
Nothing New
True to the title of this collection, London-based fashion designer Phoebe English is known for using non-virgin materials.
For this collection, deadstock and surplus materials were sourced as ‘waste’ from other design studios across London to minimise distance and carbon footprint. Nothing was flown or shipped, with the entire collection made from ‘Nothing new’ and from ‘everything from here’.
The quilted jacket displayed here is made from a series of tubes cut with a zero-waste pattern cutting technique and sewn from this surplus fabric. They have been filled with the silk organza offcuts left over from the manufacturer process of the previous collection and then shredded to be used as filling.
Designed by Phoebe English.
