Description
Date: 19th August, 2020.  In today’s episode we chat to Holly McQuillan. Holly McQuillan’s work in the field of zero waste fashion design, articulates sustainable fashion systems and practice. She focuses on issues such as transition design, the impact of technology and how these can challenge established design, production and use practices. Holly co-authored Zero Waste Fashion Design with Timo Rissanen and together they are currently writing the second edition. She also co-curated Yield: Making fashion without making waste, the first contemporary exhibition focussing on zero waste fashion, and developed the award winning open-source zero waste resource Make/Use. Her work always seeks to broaden the impact of zero waste and sustainable fashion design through research, publication, workshops and lectures. Currently she is a PhD candidate in Artistic Research at the Swedish School of Textiles exploring zero waste systems thinking through the innovative design and production of textile-forms.  We chat about zero-waste design thinking, aesthetics, using technology for fashion futures, evolving designer roles, fashion post-covid and so much more. This was one expansive conversation that we hope you’ll enjoy!  Resources + Mentions:  - Website -  https://hollymcquillan.com/  - Instagram - @holly_mcquillan Make/ Use - https://makeuse.nz/  - Zero Waste Design Collective - https://www.zerowastedesignonline.com/  - Timo Rissanen - https://timorissanen.com/about/  - Doughnut Economics by Kate Raworth - https://www.kateraworth.com/doughnut/  - Clo3D digital fashion software - https://www.clo3d.com/  - Kathryn Walters Textiles - https://www.kmwalters.com/  - Earth Logic Fashion Action Research Plan - https://earthlogic.info/  - Fully Automated Luxury Communism - https://luxurycommunism.com/about/
