From 2012 onwards the project began to use workshops to inspire consumers and designers to engage with materials - towards closed-loop thinking and action - with an approach I called ‘Fast reFashion’. Referencing the speed of high street trends, but here drawing people back to their wardrobes or a second hand shop for the garment that will begin the fashion process – the material and the personal transformation. The approach was first tested at the Black Hack workshop (Chelsea, September 2012), where 10 TFRC researchers were invited to join me to design and execute a heat photogram overprint for a polyester garment, using the college heat press.
