Innovative Design

On 13 April 2022, Closed Loop Fashion Founder, Marina Chahboune, moderated an insightful talk show to kick-off the major annual event, Road to Fashion Revolution Indonesia 2022. The talk show brought a particular focus on upcycling fashion and shared inside knowledge from three Indonesian changemakers, each with their own unique experiences in upcycling.

Lingerie is amongst the more complex product segments to be found in the fashion industry. Especially bras are considered to be one of the most complicated garments to make and can easily consist of more than 30 different parts. This also makes lingerie a challenging product segment when it comes to sustainability: redesigning lingerie with circularity in mind is a complex task.

Designing for circularity is still a relatively new design approach, but fashion design students of Indonesia’s Maranatha University have braved the challenge and surprised our ‘Design out waste’-competition jury with incredibly creative lingerie and bodywear designs made from pre-consumer waste.
