Footprint Awards

Posted by Zoe Fletcher on Friday, May 27, 2011
After an amazing evening of fine dining, fairtrade vodka cocktails and a great awards ceremony, we can officially say that the collection Julia and I made went down a storming success! It was great to see so many different people thinking about the sustainability of fashion and reconsidering the ways we look at "waste"!

There is a short film (you can spot about 3 seconds of my face!) and official photographs from the evening on their website - http://www.footprint-awards.com/

Now its back to reality and to making lots more exciting projects!



ABOUT ME


Zoe Grace Fletcher Currently undertaking a PhD at Manchester Metropolitan University within the MIRIAD post-graduate department, I am beginning a practice based academic journey into British wool fibres and new technologies within knitwear design. Graduating with Distinction from a Masters in Fashion and the Environment at London College of Fashion, specialising in hand-knitting and the British Wool Industry, I have worked on a number of knitwear collections (personal and external companies), whilst freelancing and researching for a number of exciting projects. My work revolves around the idea of sustainable fashion from a knitted perspective and the different ways to achieve this incorporating the ideas of slow fashion into mainstream society. I love knitting. And wool. And double sided sticky tape.
