Fortune 500 Apparel Brand
Industry Workshop
USA
We came to the table with the understanding that a team within this brand was looking for long-form Zero Waste Design training for the education and enrichment of the brand community at large.
We were able to not only execute on our proposal, but were able to generate excitement and passion with participants and the brand community as a whole.
Over five days, we worked with 10 designers to change how they think about design. Through talks, demos, quick projects, and hands-on work, teams created zero-waste patterns and garment samples. We also game-planned how to use these ideas in real life scenarios.
“Zero waste is completely doable and within reach”
“The apparel industries path to a more sustainable future with less of a detrimental impact environmentally, starts small. It starts with integration, and strives for progress not perfection. I believe I can use these practices daily”
“In order for zero waste production/ garments to work there has to be proper systems in place to facilitate it”
Key Takeaways
"The workshop with ZWDC I attended was not only fun, but incredibly insightful and engaging. It helped me think about my design processes in a different light and created a desire to help others do the same."
