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.

Muslin Mountain




Weighing the muslin scraps from January 28th - February 11th, we found the accumulation of scraps totaled 16.5 pounds! That is an average of 8.25 per week, which is more than the 5.875 from the first week. Look at that mountain of muslin!!!
