Inspired by the activist organisations and culture, as well as the colours, food and architecture from field research in Hong Kong during January 2014, this shirt was created to highlight the global relationship between waste the actions of the designer, the industry, food production. The shirt aims to highlight the quantity of garments that are being thrown out each year in a context of a limited second-hand clothing market. It was co-created by Earley facilitating 8 industry designers in Hong Kong in January 2014 – at the ReDress Miele challenge workshop, an educational project to encourage HK designers to use recycled materials to their practices. It used traditional local food stuff, a domestic iron, a second hand garment and transfer paper to create an upcycled monomaterial ‘designer’ garment.
