The research <br /> <br /> purpose is to create sustainable alternative material for fashion products and textile <br /> <br /> purposes, using post-production denim waste to highlight value of waste, that can <br /> <br /> benefit environment, while producing sustainable fashion products. Experiments <br /> <br /> through simple sewing methods such as patchwork, stitching, and appliqué are used <br /> <br /> to construct denim wastes pieces together, to create the alternative material with <br /> <br /> slow process and craftsmanship as the focus, that can be replicated and use by <br /> <br /> many. And designing functional fashion product like outer, with sustainability and <br /> <br /> unisex aspects as post-modern fashion visual of the product, as the result of this <br /> <br /> research.
