What exactly is Deconstruction - Reconstruction?

Welcome to Deconstruction-Reconstruction! We are a group of art students hailing from various areas of study including fashion, fibers, and metals at Virginia Commonwealth University. We are researching recycling fibers as a response to the large amount of muslin scraps wasted each day in the fashion design department. Throughout our project, we will be collecting muslin scraps from the design studios in recycling bins, keeping track of how much is wasted, in hopes of creating a continuing fabric recycling program. During our research, we will be meeting with designers working with eco-friendly or recycled materials. We will also use the scraps in combination with found and recycled metals to create one of a kind garments and accessories in order to reuse the wasted scraps. These pieces will be featured in a final show in May 2008.

Boxes are ready

We found these great boxes in the alley today and it was perfect because we needed recycling bins for the muslin and they are the perfect size. Somebody must have just moved in yesterday or today because they are in really great shape. We picked them up and painted all the necessary information on them. Now, we just hope people will put muslin in them for use in our recycled garments. The fashion students are starting to sew this week, so we should start to see scraps very soon...
