If Nothing Else, At Least I Have My Things

A project by: Scarlett Bushell

£0
pledged of £1,000 target

This project did not reach its target.

A project focusing on the circular nature of possessions and making do with things I can find close.

A short summary of your project

I'm aiming to raise £1000 to fund my next creative endeavour, following on from my graduate collection. I have already produced six looks but I'm aim to make six more as well as create a look book documenting the project as a whole.

Who are you?

I am a fashion design graduate, looking to carry on my sustainable practice through fashion production. 

Your story

"If nothing else at least I have my things" project is focused on my personal processes of working and creating. From a young age, I was encouraged to utilize what I already owned to create art, which fostered a habit of collecting and hoarding items and fabrics. I saw potential in almost everything with the hope of repurposing them one day. This project delves into that way of thinking through various practices and processes.

  • I want to challenge myself and prove that everything I need is within my reach and i don't need to source any new materials for a compelling collection.  
  • I want to honour materials and damaged, vintage clothes to give them a new lease of life.
  • I aim to capture all of this by shooting my 12 looks and creating a beautiful, high-quality look book.
