“As a clothing technician, I feel a deep responsibility to ensure that the garments I help create are not destined to be discarded unworn. For me, clothing is more than just a product – it should accompany us in our everyday lives, add value, and exist within a sustainable, circular system. The STREP project gives me the unique opportunity to take a closer look at this cycle, to question established processes, and to explore new ways of designing and producing clothing that respects both people and the planet. By adapting and improving the system, we can reduce waste, conserve resources, and ultimately make fashion a part of the solution rather than part of the problem. I am motivated by the vision that clothing should not only serve its purpose but also contribute to a more responsible and future-oriented industry.”
