The Guardian and The Observer have launched a
DIY Eco Fashion section online
They have collaborated with designers to create step-by-step "how to" guides illustrated with beautiful photographs taking the maker on a journey of marking out, cutting and sewing to create bespoke fashion and accessories.
Allowing you to make your own:
Celia Birtwell stencil print bag
Jade Jagger bracelet
Stephen Jones hat
Vivienne Westwood dress
This offers insights into the design process and allows consumers to create bespoke goods at affordable prices. The hands on approach also allows us to engage in craft and
DIY at a time when we are questioning our consumption, providing an alternative to mass produced goods that don’t cost a fortune. Its also a great example of
open source fashion allowing designs to be downloaded and re-created independently.
