Some says - Throw the old stuff and get a new one.
Some says - Throw the old stuff and get a new one.
But I think the better way is to recreate a new thing and keeping the same spirit, I mean we do not need to throw and find a new one to fill in the blank. We have what we need already, we just need to ''Recreate'' it.
The new wave for the world is ''Recreate'', don't you think so? :)
常說舊的不去新的不來。
我覺得棄舊不如 ''造新''，不用突然製造多一件廢物外，還可以好好利用原有的好條件去創造另一件好事物出來。''造新''才是新浪潮喔！
Recently I had a short but nice interview with a kind fashion designer- Toby Crispy, she is the founder and designer for her brand- Lastbutnotleast, this is a good brand with so positive concept- Upcycling Fashion.
Yes! Why not take care well of our Mother Earth before we develop another brand new collection?
最近跟一位很有心的設計師- Toby Crispy 來了一個簡短的訪問, 她是本地品牌-Lastbutnotleast的創辦人和設計師，Lastbutnotleast的概念是將舊衣裳重新改裝成新衣裳，是一個極好的意念，世界的資源已去到一個危險的水平，在我們創新前不如先照料好我們的Mother Earth，不是更好嗎？

F: what
is your job?
T: Upcycling
fashion designer.
F: What
made you suddenly change your job?
T: Recalling
from being a fashion editor after graduated from HK Polytechnic university . .
. to designer for a belgium brand . . . to product development manager in Agnes
b. . . . . I have been enjoying different fields in the fashion industry. From
the day I knew about how the production & marketing process of fashion
industry destroy our living planet unscrupulously, I’ve been thinking hardly
what I can do to devote to the earth with my professional strength. . . . . . .
Until I learnt a word called ‘Upcycling’ which brings me the dawn of a new era.
I’m thinking to make use of my experienced skill & enthusiasm to encourage
people saving more old clothes instead of throwing them away and then buying
new ones. Then I started a fanpage https://www.facebook.com/LLastbutnotleastt.
about custom-made upcycling fashion design service which aims to minimize
purchasing new materials & encourage people to go green but still live
fashionably. FYI, Nowadays, already 40% of landfill just on our abandoned
clothes and 1/3 of all globally donated clothes are sold to Sub-Saharan Africa,
where the used clothing business is undermining Africa’s own textiles and
manufacturing industry. Therefore it's a must that we should stop over-shopping
!! In addition, 0 drop of water was used, no pollution created & no new
material need to be purchased in Upcycling process!! Therefore I think
UPCYCLING is the MOST e f f i c i e n t way for Eco fashion.
F: What
inspired you in life?

T: Love

own utensil set.
F: Can
you tell me what song you like / inspired you the most?

many....I like classical & electronic & alternative music ....every
song inspires me differently for different style of creation.....Let me think
about it, tell u later if I can have one in mind specifically.
