Eco Freindly Fashion designers

Over the last two weeks, our class was given the task of researching in small groups Eco friendly designers in order to produce an outfit in a “pressure test” situation (I will post photos of our groups finished outfit later on)

Our group decided to research Gary Harvey, former creative director for Levis Europe and now one of the leading designers pioneering Eco fashion.Gary Harvey uses a wide range of recycled clothing and mass produced items to create stunningly beautiful dresses that are one of kind.
