Abstract

Pandemonium was designed to find an innovative way to upcycle fabric waste into unique textiles and ready-to-wear separates. Textiles can be recycled either mechanically or chemically, but the industry does not use this practice on a wide-scale yet. So, the purpose of this collection is to mechanically recycle clothes that were donated to me by family and friends by disassembling and shredding. I applied these shredded scraps to a variety of black deadstock fabric to create new textiles using needle felting, knitting, and quilting techniques. The goal of this design is to combine these techniques and create a look that focuses on recycling both pre-and post-consumer waste.
